Scientists have built a graphene-based device that can taste with near-human accuracy in a breakthrough that pushes artificial sensing closer to human ability. The system uses machine learning to ...

Human papillomavirus (HPV) testing on self-collected samples may increase coverage of cervical cancer screening, but previous studies have observed lower specificity of HPV testing in self- versus ...

In the depths of your inner ear lies one of biology’s most intricate sound systems. A new discovery reveals that the cochlea ...

In a new study published in Gut, he and his team developed a human microbiota modeling system capable of predicting each person's sensitivity to an emulsifier, using a simple stool sample.

Researchers have successfully developed an ultra-sensitive pressure sensor for electronic skin modeled after the nervous system in the human brain. This technology is applicable to future devices ...

In this paper, we propose a mathematical model of human photopic contrast sensitivity. The model is based on a novel functional block diagram, focusing more on the information theoretical nature of ...

In a single sniff, the human sense of smell can distinguish odors within a fraction of a second, working at a level of sensitivity that is “on par” with how our brains perceive color ...

Rejection sensitive dysphoria, or RSD, is an emotional dysregulation where individuals experience severe and persistent emotional pain in reaction to a perceived slight or rejection.
