The latest fifth evolution of wireless networks has been shaping up the telecom sector for a couple of years now. The US market is among the first to adopt the new standard. The three main operators, T-Mobile, AT&T, and Verizon have lately been joined by a new 5G provider, Dish. The company has long been […]
Roche remains sceptical about investing more in antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs), which have been described as “guided-missile” cancer drugs, even as they attract heightened attention in the pharmaceutical industry. “There are quite a few companies that invest in this area.

Thailand-based metaverse startup Translucia Global Innovation, in collaboration with the Australian software development company Two Bulls, has set aside a $100 million initial budget for constructing a Melbourne-based Metaverse Research and Development Center (MRDC). The T&B Media Global art and entertainment corporation, which owns Translucia, began its Translucia Metaverse project in October 2021 with a […]
The medical field has been benefiting a lot from technological advancements. The diagnostic, monitoring, and treatment tools have been getting smaller in size with ubiquitous usage capabilities and smarter decision-making. Ultrasound technology uses sound frequencies outside the human audible band, that is, above 20 kilohertz. These safe waves are reflected from body structures, and processed […]
The digital world has been witnessing intermittent events that change how we interact, access information, complete our daily activities, and basically live our daily life beyond our physical connections. Probably the first prominent introduction was the Internet and the world wide web in the nineties. The next awaited event is the advent of the Metaverse, […]
