Researchers in Canada have developed a novel approach to treat liver cancers using magnet-guided microrobots in an MRI device. Guided by an external magnetic field, miniature biocompatible robots, made of iron oxide nanoparticles, can theoretically provide medical treatment in a very targeted manner, the researchers said. However, there has been a technical obstacle: the force of gravity of these microrobots exceeds that of the magnetic force, which limits their guidance when the tumour is located higher than the injection site, they said. «To solve this problem, we developed an algorithm that determines the position that the patient's body should be in for a clinical MRI to take advantage of gravity and combine it with the magnetic navigation force,» said Gilles Soulez, a researcher at the University of Montreal.

tuberculosis (TB) patients, an advance that may lead to personalised treatments for the bacterial disease. The study, published in the journal iScience, analysed multimodal data including diverse biomedical data from clinical tests, genomics, medical imaging and drug prescriptions from TB patients. By analysing data from patients with varying levels of drug resistance, the researchers discovered biomedical features predictive of treatment failure. They also uncovered drug regimens effective against specific sets of drug-resistant TB patients.

just-published experiments led by Hirokazu Shirado at Carnegie Mellon University, we found that even very simple forms of AI assistance for drivers, such as auto-steering or auto-braking, eroded social norms of reciprocity on the road. Allowing humans to delegate whether to swerve away from an oncoming car in repeated games of chicken resulted in people subsequently being less likely to take turns in giving way, thereby increasing the frequency of crashes when they drove without AI assistance. These effects of AI suggest that it could have a big impact on the social norms that have evolved over millennia, shaping how we treat each other in all manner of everyday interactions.

carbon capture approaches. The technology? Sunlight and seawater. The company, Banyu Carbon, says it has developed an ocean carbon dioxide removal (CDR) system that relies on a synthetic molecule that, when exposed to light, changes shape and becomes acidic. When it interacts with seawater, the resulting process scrubs CO2. Though the company is currently working at the gram scale, its technology holds the promise of a low-cost way to limit global warming. “The main problem we're trying to solve is that carbon removal takes a ton of energy,” says Banyu co-founder and Chief Executive Officer Alex Gagnon, a chemical oceanography professor who spun the startup out of the University of Washington in 2022 with colleague Julian Sachs. (A marine organic chemist and Banyu’s chief technology officer, Sachs previously conducted fieldwork in the Pacific, and “Banyu” is an Indonesian word for “seawater.”)
