When Ellie Verrecchia showed up to her first metal detecting dig in Cornwall, she was the only woman there. Three years later, she's helping thousands join a hobby that's quadrupled in membership.
A simple 3-minute breath test using trained beagles could detect lung, breast, prostate, and colorectal cancer years earlier than traditional scans. The Israeli innovation combines canine biology with AI to achieve 95% accuracy.
A breakthrough detection system could finally verify that satellites orbiting Earth don't carry nuclear weapons, protecting the space infrastructure billions of people depend on daily. The technology brings new hope for enforcing a treaty that's been unverifiable for 57 years.
A Bengaluru startup is combining trained dogs' incredible sense of smell with AI to create an affordable cancer screening test that could catch the disease early. Early trials with 1,500 people showed 90% accuracy in detecting cancer from breath samples alone.
Scientists at UCLA have developed a simple blood test that can detect multiple types of cancer and other diseases simultaneously for less than $20. Early studies show it catches 63% of cancers overall and nearly 80% of liver cancers in high-risk patients.
Google's newest smartwatch can detect when you've stopped breathing properly and automatically call for help. The feature uses AI to spot oxygen drops from choking, accidents, or drug overdoses before it's too late.
A handheld device the size of a deck of cards can detect lung cancer from a one-minute breath test, using graphene sensors that identify disease markers. The technology could catch cancer years earlier, when treatment is seven times less expensive and survival rates are highest.
A new smartphone app in the Canary Islands turns everyday citizens into geological scouts who can report landslides and help save lives. The innovation is part of a Europe-wide project that's updating centuries-old risk management with real-time community power.
Swedish and Norwegian researchers discovered a simple blood test that can detect Parkinson's disease up to two decades before symptoms appear. This breakthrough could help millions get treatment before major brain damage occurs.
