Australian researchers have cracked a major hurdle in developing 6G wireless technology that could deliver internet speeds 100 times faster than 5G. The team at Adelaide University is building devices using terahertz waves to enable data rates above one terabit per second.
Scientists have unlocked a quantum effect that converts ambient wireless signals into usable electricity, potentially ending our dependence on batteries for everyday devices. The breakthrough works at room temperature and could power everything from medical sensors to smartphones.
Scientists at Cornell University created a neural implant smaller than a grain of salt that can wirelessly read brain activity for over a year. The device uses light instead of wires, opening doors to safer brain monitoring for medical treatments.
Scientists in Japan just transmitted data at 112 gigabits per second using a microchip-sized device, smashing through a major barrier blocking the path to lightning-fast 6G networks. The breakthrough could bring wireless speeds 3,000 times faster than today's average to your phone by 2030.
Patients with life-threatening conditions will now get faster access to cutting-edge medical devices thanks to a new federal program that eliminates months of insurance wait times. The government is coordinating device approval with insurance coverage, removing one of healthcare's biggest bottlenecks. #
Life-saving medical devices will reach patients up to 10 months faster thanks to a groundbreaking partnership between the FDA and Medicare. The new RAPID program could help 60 devices get immediate coverage approval.
South Africa's University of Cape Town can now legally manufacture and distribute medical devices designed specifically for African patients. After a decade of research producing 23 patents and 100,000 devices globally, UCT's innovations can finally reach local hospitals.
A groundbreaking study shows that a small implanted device can protect atrial fibrillation patients from strokes just as well as daily medications. After three years, patients with the Watchman FLX device had equally safe outcomes while avoiding long-term blood thinners.
Scientists in Australia and Singapore have discovered how to control a quantum effect that converts ambient energy into electricity, potentially eliminating the need for batteries in future electronics. The breakthrough works at room temperature and could power everything from wearable devices to wireless sensors.
Breakthrough medical devices will now get insurance coverage in as little as two months instead of over a year, thanks to a new federal program launched this week. The change means patients could access life-saving heart valves, rhythm devices, and nerve stimulators far sooner.
Scientists have created a wireless retinal implant thinner than a human hair that could one day restore sight to millions living with vision loss. The breakthrough device uses safe near-infrared light instead of risky visible light, eliminating the need for bulky electronics.
The Netherlands just secured €214 million to lead the global race toward 6G networks, technology that could transform everything from factories to emergency deliveries. The country already set a world record during testing, and over 100 small businesses are lining up to build the wireless future.
Chinese scientists just transmitted kilowatt-level energy wirelessly across hundreds of meters, bringing the dream of space-based solar power stations one giant leap closer to reality. The breakthrough could revolutionize how we power everything from factories to remote villages.
Scientists created an implant that could free diabetes patients from daily insulin injections. The device keeps insulin-producing cells alive inside the body without needing immune-suppressing drugs.
Chinese scientists successfully tested a system that beams kilowatt-level power wirelessly to multiple moving targets, bringing orbital solar energy closer to reality. The breakthrough could enable 24/7 clean energy from space within years.
A new invention lets service dogs turn on lights, fans, and other appliances by simply pressing a button with their nose or paw. The device helps people with disabilities live more independently without relying on others for everyday tasks.
Chinese scientists just wirelessly transmitted over a kilowatt of power across a football field, bringing us closer to solar power stations in space. The breakthrough could one day power satellites without bulky solar panels.
Federal agencies just launched a new pathway to get breakthrough medical devices covered by Medicare faster. The program could help millions of seniors access life-changing technology sooner.
Danish soccer star Christian Eriksen collapsed during a match on Sunday, but the tiny device in his chest shocked his heart back to rhythm within seconds. Three years after his first cardiac arrest, his implantable defibrillator proved why athletes with heart conditions can still compete at the highest levels.
A wearable AI device called Revoice helps stroke survivors communicate naturally by reading throat movements and emotions, turning silently mouthed words into full sentences. Five patients tested it with 95% accuracy, reporting they could finally speak as fluently as before their strokes.
