Scientists develop AI program that uses x-rays to detect COVID-19
Scientists from the University of the West of Scotland (UWS) have created a groundbreaking artificial intelligence program that uses x-rays to detect the Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19) faster and more accurately than standard PCR tests. The process uses x-ray technology. The patient gets an x-ray done of his or her chest. The AI program then uses an algorithm to […]

New York City’s coronavirus disinfection program: Subway trains to be blasted with ultraviolet-C rays every night to kill the virus
The transit authority in New York City is going to install germicidal ultraviolet lights in the city’s trains to see if they can help city officials disinfect the subway cars of the Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19). The Metropolitan Transit Authority (MTA) calls the use of UV light “another aggressive step” in making sure that New York’s public trains don’t become vectors […]

Chinese startup develops smart glasses to check for coronavirus symptoms… but do they work?
To help efforts to screen for symptoms of coronavirus (COVID-19) infection, a Chinese startup has developed augmented reality glasses that lets wearers “see” a person’s temperature. Developed by a company called Rokid, the T1 smart glasses use a frame-mounted thermal camera to measure people’s temperatures from a distance, even while they’re moving. “Apart from fixed temperature […]

Chinese carmakers unveil “antivirus” cars — experts voice doubts, concern
As a response to the global onslaught of the COVID-19 pandemic, several leading automobile manufacturers in China have started developing cars that may be able to keep harmful pathogens — including the coronavirus — out. Chinese automobile giant Geely — the same company that produces London’s ubiquitous black cabs — is among the first to develop such cars, which […]

Caribbean island uses solar hydropanels to harvest water after coronavirus shut down supply lines
Residents of Belize’s Caye Caulker Island have begun using solar power to harvest fresh water from the air after shipments to the island were delayed due to the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. Islanders are using 23 solar-powered hydropanels from Zero Mass Water to convert airborne moisture into potable water. Caye Caulker Island, which sits just 20 miles […]

Robots could help fight the coronavirus by taking on the “dull, dirty and dangerous” jobs
As healthcare and emergency personnel work to stop the spread of the coronavirus, they also put themselves at risk of catching the disease themselves. Now, scientists are arguing that robots could be used to do some of the “dull, dirty and dangerous” jobs that these people currently have to do, helping reduce the risks that they face. […]

Scientists develop FACE MASK that speeds up coronavirus testing
One of the things that makes the novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) hard to contain is how long it can take to test for the presence of the virus (SARS-CoV-2). To address this, researchers at the University of Leicester in England are developing a new face mask that can detect the presence of SARS-CoV-2 much faster. The scientists have developed […]

New device nukes STD viruses with microwaves… including HPV
In the future, treating human papillomavirus (HPV) may be done with a microwave system. Tests with the device, a compact and portable applicator developed by Emblation Microwave, are underway and have yielded positive results thus far. According to HPV experts from the University of Glasgow, it works by delivering a precise and controlled low-energy dose […]

HP launches new line of germicide-resistant computers meant for use in hospitals
The hospital environment is drastically different from the typical school or office setting, partly because of the sheer number of people that go through and interact in it each day. But the bigger reason is that there are many different sources of bacteria and viruses present inside hospitals, and germicide use is standard practice. As […]
