The vest that can hear your heartbeat
00:45 A flexible, wearable, fabric microphoneInspired by the ear, a team of researchers have developed an acoustic fibre that can be woven into fabrics to create a sensitive microphone. This fabric microphone is capable of detecting human speech and heartbeats, and the team think it could be used to develop new, wearable sensors for long-term health monitoring.Research article: Yan et al.News and Views: A smart sensor that can be woven into everyday life08:38 Research HighlightsHow a shark’s posture lets you know if it’s asleep, and the desert dust that helps cirrus clouds form.Research Highlight: The secrets of shark ...

"We don't really know the impact of these products on our health": Ultraprocessed food & cancer risk
A study published by The BMJ today reports a possible association between intake of highly processed ( “ultra-processed”) food in the diet and cancer.
Ultra-processed foods include packaged baked goods and snacks, fizzy drinks, sugary cereals, ready meals and reconstituted meat products - often containing high levels of sugar, fat, and salt, but lacking in vitamins and fibre. They are thought t o account for up to 50% of total daily energy intake in several developed countries.
Mathilde Touvier, senior researcher in nutritional epidemiology and Bernard Srour, pharmacist and PhD Candidate, both at INSERM, join us to ...
