study published in Sensors showed that a recently developed smart T-shirt, designed to provide real-time readings of the wearer’s breathing rate, may have potential implications in diagnosing respiratory conditions. The smart T-shirt was created by researchers at Université Laval’s Faculty of Science and Engineering and its Center for Optics, Photonics, and Lasers in Quebec, Canada. According to the researchers, the smart t-shirt does not contain any wires, electrodes, or sensors attached to the body. Instead, the new technology makes use of an antenna sewn into the shirt at chest level. The antenna is made of hollow optical fiber and is coated with a thin layer of silver on its inner surface. According to the research team, the smart fiber in the T-shirt senses changes in both thorax circumference and the volume of air in the lungs when the wearer inhales.To read more,follow : www.shugarreyluminations.com

REVERSING PARALYSIS Breakthrough Wireless brain-body electronic interfaces to bypass damage to the nervous system. Why It Matters Thousands of people suffer paralyzing injuries every year. Key Players – École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne – Wyss Center for Bio and Neuroengineering – University of Pittsburgh – Case Western Reserve University Availability 10 to 15 years To complete the bypass, the Case team, led by Robert Kirsch and Bolu Ajiboye, also slid more than 16 fine electrodes into the muscles of the man’s arm and hand. In videos of the experiment, the volunteer can be seen slowly raising his arm with the help of a spring-loaded arm rest, and willing his hand to open and close. He even raises a cup with a straw to his lips. Without the system, he can’t do any of that. Just try sitting on your hands for a day. That will give you an idea of the shattering consequences of spinal cord injury. You can’t scratch your nose or tousle a child’s hair. “But if you have this,” says Courtine, reaching for a red espresso cup and raising it to his mouth with an actor’s exaggerated motion, “it changes your life.” Follow link to read more : www.shugarreyluminations.com

You’ve probably heard of the brain’s reward network. It’s activated by basic needs — including food, water and sex — and releases a surge of the feel-good neurotransmitter dopamine when those needs are met. But it can also be hijacked by drugs, which lead to a greater dopamine release than those basic needs. But the reward network isn’t the only brain network altered by drug use. A new review concluded that drug addiction affects six main brain networks: the reward, habit, salience, executive, memory and self-directed networks. Advertisement In 2016, a total of 20.1 million people ages 12 and older in the U.S. had a substance-use disorder, according to the National Survey on Drug Use and Health, an annual survey on drug use. And drug addiction, regardless of the substance used, had surprisingly similar effects on the addicted brain, said the new review, published yesterday (June 6) in the journal Neuron. The review looked at more than 100 studies and review papers on drug addiction, all of which studied a type of brain scan called functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). More than half of the studies out there look at the effects of drug use on the reward network, said Anna Zilverstand, lead author of the new review and an assistant professor of psychiatry at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai in New York City. [7 Ways Alcohol Affects Your Health] Advertisement “Because we showed that the effects are very distributed across the six different networks … [we can conclude that] an approach that only looks at one of these networks isn’t really justified,” Zilverstand told Live Science. “This [finding] will hopefully lead other researchers to look beyond the reward network.” For example, the memory network is pretty much ignored in research on substance-use disorders, Zilverstand said. This network allows humans to learn non-habit-based things, such as a new physics concept or a history lesson. Some research has suggested that in people with substance-use disorders, stress shifts the person’s learning and memory away from the memory network to the habit network, which drives automatic behavior, such as seeking and taking drugs. Another less-studied network is the self-directed network, which is involved in self-awareness and self-reflection, the review said. In people with addictions, this network has been associated with increasing craving. Two other networks are involved in substance-use disorders: The executive network is normally responsible for goal-maintaining and execution, but drugs can alter this network as well, reducing a person’s ability to inhibit their actions. The salience network picks up important cues in a person’s environment and redirects the individual’s attention to them. (In people with drug addiction, attention is redirected toward drugs, increasing craving and drug-seeking.).for more news follow: www.shugarreyluminations.com

One of Earth’s oldest rocks may have been dug up on the moon. A chunk of material brought back from the lunar surface by Apollo astronauts in 1971 harbors a tiny piece of Earth, a new study suggests. The Earth fragment was likely blasted off our planet by a powerful impact about 4 billion years ago, according to the new research. “It is an extraordinary find that helps paint a better picture of early Earth and the bombardment that modified our planet during the dawn of life,” study co-author David Kring, a Universities Space Research Association (USRA) scientist at the Lunar and Planetary Institute in Houston, said in a statement. (Biologists generally believe that life got a foothold on Earth between 4.1 billion and 3.8 billion years ago.) .follow link to read more : www.shugarreyluminations.com 1 Share

Drivers in Nigeria have trouble driving at night due to: glare, bright reflexions, and bright lights from oncoming traffic. Moreover, poor visibility at night can make driving exhausting and dangerous! A recent breakthrough eyeglass technology has made it safe to drive at night again. It’s almost like having “X-ray” vision while driving. Imagine being able to clearly see what’s in front of you and what’s approaching, even if it’s very dark and foggy.

Technology is advancing daily. Most of the time, it’s iterative: An interesting improvement on a system that came before. But occasionally, new branches of tech develop, offering completely new approaches to solving old problems.We asked members of Forbes Technology Council for their ideas on what they expect will be the next big thing in tech. Here is what they have their eyes on — and
1. Blockchain
Blockchain is disruptive in the same way quantum computing will be. You can’t ignore the beauty of decentralization and this new way of exchanging information without involving a middleman. Blockchain is not cryptocurrency, and it can fit into enterprises as a part of their enterprise solutions. – Neeraj Sabharwal, Xavient Digital
2. The Internet of Things (IoT)
The next breakthrough will involve the combination of the Internet of Things with other leading technologies like AI and blockchain. Together, these technologies will create transformational value, first in the industrial sector, and then in the consumer market. The results will include improved business decision-making and a better quality of life at work and home.
3. Healthcare
Advances in healthcare are desperately needed and are being tackled, whether it be through predictive analysis using genomic data, which can permit the prediction of disease and other people’s characteristics, or through novel drug therapeutics such as RNA targeting. The healthcare industry has long been in need of reform and know that tech giants and other companies are entering the sphere to tackle this problem. Gene modification poses the promise to be the next quantum leap in public health protection and that is just the beginning. – Alexandro Pando, Xyrupt
4. Generative Adversarial Networks
Generative adversarial networks are next. This is a way of pitting two neural networks against each other in order to train one of them to produce new things. For example, it may generate realistic-looking pictures. We’re not quite there yet but we will be soon. When that happens, it could conceivably become impossible to separate real information from false. For better or worse, that will be a very big thing.
5. Human and Artificial Neural Networks
The next thing would be a new way to communicate with these new technologies including AI. It could be some new kind of wearable. It might be some mechanism to fit a receiver inside a body, similar to how pets are microchipped. Basically, something to seamlessly connect humans with the immense power of AI. We already have made some advances in AI. Now we need to make it more utilized.
6. Incremental Improvements
Breakthroughs continue to happen each and every day in the technology world. Recently, Fast Field Programmable Gate Arrays were added to Intel processors which will accelerate extreme real-time IO and machine learning. It is not the massive breakthroughs, but these incremental improvements that lower costs, improve efficiency and drive better customer outcomes. – Danny Allan, Veeam Software
7. Quantum Batteries
The ability to store and retrieve orders of magnitude more portable energy will change the world. Today’s battery technologies have lagged woefully behind other technology advances. When we break through with dense battery technology, such as applying quantum physics and other methods to get beyond simple chemical-based batteries, it will rock our world and solar power will eclipse fossil fuels. 1 Like
