Ultrasound vein scans for astronaut health and spacesuit checks for an upcoming spacewalk were the top duties for the Expedition 75 crew on Tuesday. More...

MidJourney just announced... a full body ultrasound! Yup... read on because it's as crazy as it sounds. "As powerful as MRI and as casual as a trip to the spa" They are calling it "the @midjourney scanner" Insane details: - First, the scale. The device uses 8,960 individual transducers arranged in a ring around your body - The precision is the most jaw-dropping part: it resolves motion at the picometer range. It can image internal tissues finer than the width of an atom. We are talking sub-atomic level diagnostic capability - The compute requirement is massive. The system processes 17 gigabytes of data per second. It takes 40GB of raw data to reconstruct just one cross-sectional slice. And they are planning to scan 100 slices? - Midjourney claims that fewer than 12 of these machines could perform more full-body scans than every MRI machine on Earth combined. Welcome to the future of healthcare! Not only these scanners are announced, they will exist in a "Midjourney SPA" - with hot tubs, saunas, cold plunges, and 9-10 whole body scanners.

Dutch students are testing Stella Juva, a solar-powered ambulance able to power ultrasound, X-ray and vaccine-fridge equipment off-grid, aiming to bring healthcare to remote parts of Kenya lacking reliable electricity

A machine named Aletta is officially drawing human blood inside European hospitals—and not a single human hand touches you. ​Using AI-driven ultrasound vision, the robotic arm maps your vein beneath the skin in milliseconds. It aligns the needle, pierces the vein on the first attempt, draws the blood, retracts, and applies the bandage. ​Flawless execution. Zero human presence. ​The chilling part? 98% of patients said they’d do it again. ​No missed veins. No repeated sticking. No human error. ​In the U.S. alone, roughly 130,000 phlebotomists make their living doing this exact job. We spent years believing medicine was the one sanctuary AI could never touch—that empathy and steady human hands were irreplaceable. ​The line between human care and algorithmic precision is gone.

These silent curves mark where a plate stands perfectly still. At precise frequencies, sand gathers on the nodal lines of its eigenmodes; solutions of the Helmholtz equation ∇²ψ + k²ψ = 0. The same math shapes instrument design, ultrasound imaging, and quantum resonators. Geometry made audible. Where else have you watched hidden symmetries emerge from vibration?

The FDA has approved a robot that can find your vein, put the needle in, and draw your blood. The robot, called Aletta, uses imaging and ultrasound to find the right vein and make sure it isn’t an artery, it can then insert the needle, collect the blood, remove the needle and even put on a bandage.

A new AI model is giving women an idea of what to expect from fertility treatment. Using a hormone test and an ultrasound, doctors at Spring Fertility Clinic in New York City can now predict how many eggs and viable embryos, a patient is likely to get before they start treatment.

.@Ethereum turns 11 today. The first decade was proving Ethereum worked. We experimented with World Computer, Ultrasound Money, the Infinite Garden. Every narrative was a different flavor of the same message: credibly neutral internet infrastructure. This second decade is about scaling without compromise. Whether it's self-sovereign money, institutional adoption, agentic rails, or privacy, they all need the same thing — proofs instead of promises. We're excited to continue building with the Ethereum ecosystem, as we have been for years, to make sure scaling never comes at the cost of neutrality.

Believe it or not... There’s a cancer treatment where they don’t cut you open. They don’t poison you. They don’t burn you. And it’s FDA approved. They aim sound at the tumor. Actual ultrasound waves that literally shred cancer cells without touching the healthy tissue next to it. Wild. It’s called histotripsy. And the craziest part—patients walk out the same day, asking if anything even happened. No incision. No pain. No downtime. Just a robotic arm focusing sound waves so precisely they create microscopic bubbles inside the tumor. How? The ultrasound pulses create tiny bubble clouds that rapidly expand and collapse, mechanically breaking apart the targeted tissue while sparing nearby healthy structures. The body then gradually clears away the destroyed tissue over time. Histotripsy is currently FDA-authorized for treating certain liver tumors, and researchers are studying its use for additional cancers. It isn’t suitable for every patient, so treatment depends on the type, size, and location of the tumor. Healthy tissue just millimeters away is left untouched. Pretty nuts. Recent data shows around 90% tumor control at 12 months, with treatment zones shrinking over time. Most people feel little or nothing afterward. Let that sink in. The FDA approved this technology in 2023 after more than 20 years of research at the University of Michigan. Researchers now believe this technology may not only destroy tumors, but also help activate the immune system. Imagine treating cancer without destroying the body in the process. That’s the future many researchers are working toward. Follow: Quantum Medicine ✅️

Midjourney, the company behind the popular AI image generator, has unveiled what it says is the world’s first full-body ultrasound CT scanner. >The technology aims to make full-body imaging safer and more affordable. >During the scan, people are lowered into water while ultrasound waves create detailed 3D images of more than 25 organs and body structures in about one minute. >The scan uses no radiation. Midjourney is working toward FDA approval for future diagnostic uses and plans to bring the scanner to market by the end of 2027.
