This technique could be used in the next years in hospitals. It may help doctors to detect tumours with greater precision than is possible using current X-ray mammography. Breast cancer is the...
Medical Engineering | Read moreNew step forward in search for solution to infection puzzle
The study could help in the development of new treatments for serious heart conditions such as infective endocarditis. The researchers studied the way a protein found on the surface of the bac...
Life Sciences | Read moreFirst full 3D view of cracks growing in steel
By using a new grain mapping technique it was possible to determine the internal 3D structure of the material without destroying the sample. Afterwards, a crack was initiated in the stainless steel, a...
