To provide women at a high risk of breast cancer with more frequent screenings between mammograms, researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) are developing a wearable ultrasound ...

Researchers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have developed a new wearable ultrasound device that could revolutionize breast cancer detection, promising early diagnosis and ...

New research has given the clearest ever picture of young children's developing brains, using a wearable brain scanner to map electrical brain activity. The work opens up new possibilities for ...

The wearable brain scanner is based on quantum technology, and uses LEGO-brick-sized sensors -- called optically pumped magnetometers (OPMs) -- which are incorporated into a lightweight helmet to ...

If breast cancer is caught early, its survival rate is nearly 100 percent. If not, that rate can quickly drop to roughly 25 percent. Women older than 50 in the U.S. are advised to get mammograms every ...

A new study has shown how aspects of brain function change with age, revealing that excitatory processes in the brain decrease, while inhibitory processes increase as children get older. The findings ...
