(scitechdaily.com)
Promising alternative to address increasing mental health needs due to pandemic, study says. Computer- and smartphone-based treatments appear to be effective in reducing symptoms of depression, and while it remains unclear whether they are as effective as face-to-face psychotherapy, they offer a pro...
Color-Sorting Metalenses Boost Imaging Sensitivity for Smartphones and Autonomous Vehicles
(scitechdaily.com)
Technology advance enables filter-free imaging sensors that are poised to improve low-light and fast imaging for smartphones and autonomous vehicles. Researchers have shown that newly designed pixel-scale metasurface lenses — flat surfaces that use nanostructures to manipulate light — can be used to...
A newly released Android app will turn your smartphone into an instrument for crowdsourced science. Leave it by your window each night with your satnav positioning turned on and your phone will record small variations in satellite signals, gathering data for machine learning analysis of meteorology ...
Do Cell Phones Cause Cancer? Latest Study Finds No Increase in Risk of Brain Tumors
(scitechdaily.com)
Longstanding fears that using mobile phones may increase the risk of developing a brain tumor have been reignited recently by the launch of 5G (fifth generation) mobile wireless technologies. Mobile phones emit radiofrequency waves which, if absorbed by tissues, can cause heating and damage. Since m...
Miniature Wide-Angle Camera – Created With Array of Metalenses – Could Fit Into Smartphones
(scitechdaily.com)
New design could enable high-quality wide-angle cameras that can possibly fit into smartphones. Researchers have designed a new compact camera that acquires wide-angle images of high-quality using an array of metalenses — flat nanopatterned surfaces used to manipulate light. By eliminating the bulky...
First, pause and take a deep breath. When we breathe in, our lungs fill with air containing oxygen, which is distributed to our red blood cells for transportation throughout our bodies. To function, our bodies require a lot of oxygen, and healthy people have at least 95% oxygen saturation all the ti...
The use of digital devices might actually benefit you instead of causing you to become lazy.  According to a recent study conducted by University College London (UCL) researchers, utilizing digital devices like smartphones may actually benefit individuals’ memory skills rather than making...
