  • AI algorithm detects and identifies brain lesions

    Posted10/2/2020 4:50:25 AM

    Researchers from Cambridge University and Imperial College London developed an AI algorithm that detects and identifies different types of brain injuries.

    The researchers said they have clinically validated and tested the AI on large sets of CT scans, and found that it could detect, segment, quantify and differentiate different types of brain lesions.
    The results could be useful in large-scale research studies, for developing more personalised treatments for head injuries and, with further validation, could be useful in certain clinical scenarios, such as resource-limited areas with few radiologists.

  • Physicists develop ‘most sensitive strain sensor ever made’

    Posted10/2/2020 4:34:10 AM

    Physicists have created what they claim is the most sensitive strain sensor ever made, an advance said to bring new levels of sensitivity to wearable tech.
    The sensor, developed by the Materials Physics Group at Sussex University, can reportedly stretch up to 80 times higher strain than strain gauges currently available and show resistance changes 100 times greater than the most sensitive materials in research development.
    The research team believe the sensors could bring new levels of sensitivity to wearable tech measuring patients’ vital signs and to systems monitoring buildings and bridges’ structural integrity.

    In a statement, Marcus O’Mara, from the School of Mathematical and Physical Sciences at Sussex University, said: “The next wave of strain sensing technology uses elastic materials like rubber imbued with conductive materials such as graphene or silver nanoparticles, and has been in development for over a decade now.

About

Located on a beautiful campus in Washington, D.C., The Catholic University of America (CUA) is unique as the national university of the Catholic Church and the only higher education institution founded by the U.S. Catholic bishops.  

Founded in 1887 as a center for graduate study, CUA has evolved into a modern American university, committed not only to graduate but also to undergraduate and professional education.  The University is dedicated to advancing the dialogue between faith and reason, seeking to discover, preserve and impart truth through excellence in teaching and research, all in service to the Church, the nation, and the world.  

Catholic University has more than 40 research centers, institutes, and interdisciplinary collaborative arrangements currently in place and approximately 7,000 students from all 50 states and 85 countries. Ninety-seven percent of the full-time faculty has doctoral or terminal degrees in their fields.
