How 'metadevices' could make electronics faster
00:47 A metadevice for faster electronicsIn the past, increasing the speeds of electronics required designing smaller components, but further reductions in size are being hampered by increasing resistance. To get around this, researchers have demonstrated a ‘metadevice’, which prevents resistance building up by concentrating the flow of signals into specific regions of the device. The hope is that this meta-method could be used to create even smaller electrical components in the future.Research article: Nikoo & Matioli06:27 Research HighlightsHow waiting times for services are higher for people in the US with low i...

Operating theatre time, where does it all go?
Waiting times in theatre can be a source of friction – but is the delay due to mandatory anaesthetic faff around time (MAFAT), or AWOL surgeons?
Elizabeth Travis, and orthopaedic house officer in New Zealand and colleagues, have been trying to create and evidence base to argue the toss, and she joins me now to discuss her study, Operating... (Source: The BMJ Podcast)

Breast Health: Self Breast Examination among Hispanic Women
Despite high rates of screening mammography, most breast cancers in Hispanic women are detected by the women themselves. A troubling finding is that about half of all women who noticed an abnormality waited at least a month before seeking medical help. Research is being conducted to determine potential reasons for the prolonged waiting time before seeking a breast cancer program. (Source: MUSC Women's Health Podcast)
