Scientists say they have developed a new method that can predict dementia up to nine years before diagnosis, with 80 per cent accuracy. The test involves analysing the network of connections in the brain when it is in “idle mode” to look for very early signs of the condition. Researchers from Queen Mary University of […]
Scientists in China have developed an innovative new water-based battery that could be a game-changer for electric vehicles and the fight against atmospheric pollution, according to Interesting Engineering. So, what makes this breakthrough exciting? These aqueous batteries are not only much safer than traditional lithium-ion batteries — they can store almost double the energy. Today’s […]
