Scientists at Loughborough University have created the world's smallest violin, measuring just 35 by 13 microns, using advanced nanolithography techniques to demonstrate precision manufacturing capabilities for future technological applications.
Researchers from Loughborough University suggest that a loss of visual sensitivity could predict Alzheimer’s disease 12 years before diagnosis, potentially improving dementia risk identification. Vision problems affecting reading, driving, and color recognition may be early signs of Alzheimer’s, and previous studies have linked eye changes to the disease. The study used data from over 8,000 adults and found that lower visual sensitivity scores were associated with higher future dementia risk. Combining visual sensitivity tests with other cognitive assessments may enhance dementia risk prediction and monitoring.
Scientists at Loughborough University have used a terahertz wave camera to capture 3D images of microscopic items hidden inside small objects for the first time ever. The breakthrough could have major implications for cancer screenings, security, and materials research. The team overcame the limitations of terahertz waves by developing a unique approach known as ‘time-resolved nonlinear ghost imaging’.
