"MIT's Innovative Ultrasound Sticker Detects Disease in Internal Organs"

MIT engineers have developed a postage stamp-sized ultrasound sticker that can be worn on the skin to monitor internal organs for signs of disease like liver or kidney failure, as well as track the progression of solid tumors. The sticker sends sound waves through the skin and into the body, which reflect off internal organs and return to the sticker. By measuring and tracking the pattern of reflected waves, the sticker can provide a signature of organ rigidity, offering a non-invasive method for disease monitoring.

Incredible Discovery: Fossilized Katydid Reveals Detailed Anatomy.

A 50-million-year-old fossil of a katydid, found in Colorado, has revealed the preservation of internal organs, including muscles, digestive tract, glands, and a testicle. The fossil belongs to the genus Arethaea, a group of thread-legged katydids, and represents a new but extinct species. The discovery will help scientists understand the evolution of this group of insects and when they developed their unique physical structure. The preservation of soft internal organs in a fossil is rare and remarkable, providing a new data point in the evolutionary history of katydids.

Mind-body connection found in human brain's motor cortex.

Researchers have discovered a previously unknown system within the motor cortex of the brain that connects body movement with thinking, planning, mental arousal, pain, and control of internal organs. This system is manifested in multiple nodes located between areas of the brain responsible for the movement of specific body parts and is engaged when many different body movements are performed together.
