Fancy learning how to grow a crystal, make lightening or dance like a sound wave? Youngsters with a passion for science will be able to enjoy some real-life experiments at the ¹û¶³´«Ã½â€™s Science Gala next week.

More people are physically active due to the Sweatcoin app which rewards you for walking – researchers at the Institute of Digital Healthcare, WMG at the ¹û¶³´«Ã½ have found. Sweatcoin gets people outdoors and walking to earn a virtual currency to spend in their marketplace.

A new innovation hub is being launched at WMG in partnership with GEFCO today. The Hub will focus on cutting edge research into the future of automotive supply chains, the dual challenges of electrification and using and reusing resources for as long as possible.

New research has found that a novel Artificial Intelligence (AI) system can dramatically reduce the time needed to ensure that abnormal chest X-rays with critical findings will receive an expert radiologist opinion sooner, cutting the average delay from 11 days to less than 3 days. Chest X-rays are routinely performed to diagnose and monitor a wide range of conditions affecting the lungs, heart, bones, and soft tissues.

Schizophrenia could be caused by a genetic mutation that causes a structural abnormality in the brain during adolescence. Therefore testing for the gene SLC39A8, and brain scans for schizophrenia could predict whether or not someone will develop it - researchers at the ¹û¶³´«Ã½ have found.

Artificial Intelligence (AI), smartphones and 3d printing could be used to design medical devices for Africa and harmonizing African and European regulation on medical devices could benefit both communities – proposes Dr Leandro Pecchia from the School of Engineering at the ¹û¶³´«Ã½ at the 4^th WHO Global Health Forum on Medical Devices.
