There’s a modern-day malady that everyone suffers from – getting distracted by phone notifications in the middle of something important and struggling to regain focus again. But now computer scientists have developed software that automatically screens out low-priority emails or texts. It’s called Phylter, and uses a headband to detect when you’re concentrating on something. Changes in blood flow in the prefrontal cortex can signal brain activity, allowing the program

The bottom of the ocean isn’t as lifeless as you probably imagine. It’s packed with all kinds of strange beasts – including one that could be as old as life itself. Now, we’ve harnessed the power of that life to, er, light a lightbulb. Many experts believe that the first cell-like organisms on Earth grew in the ‘chimneys’ that form around warm water vents on the seafloor. These chimneys, which

IBM’s quest to become the go-to medical analytics service has taken a step further after the $1 billion (around £650 million, or AU$1.36 billion) acquisition of Merge Healthcare. The company has been absorbed by IBM’s Watson Health platform that uses immense supercomputing power to filter through huge amounts of research and medical data to give professionals the information they need within seconds. “The planned acquisition bolsters IBM’s strategy to add
