They can therefore penetrate certain barriers that “large and clunky” human antibodies can’t, like the ones between your blood and your brain, Dooley explains. Scientists therefore believe the antibodies could be used to help diagnose and treat brain diseases like Alzheimer’s and brain cancer. The anti-antibody barrierThe blood-brain barrier is very tight, which means human antibodies can’t cross it. But it also means that finding proteins that can target diseases in the brain is notoriously dif

Netflix has unveiled a new feature today that will help you better manage your downloaded TV series. The feature, which will be exclusive to Android devices at launch, is appropriately called ‘smart downloads’ and its purpose is to delete any episode you’ve already watched, plus automatically download the next episode in the series the next time you’re connected to Wi-Fi – i.e. if you download the first episode of Stranger Things and watch it, smart downloads will delete that first episode and d

Sticking a filter on your next Snap will be, well, a snap as you will have thousands more to choose from in the new Lens Explorer tab. The newly announced Lens Explorer gives Snapchat users access to filters created by other Snapchatters, going beyond the cat ears and flower crowns generated by Snap itself. To access Lens Explorer, tap the new icon in the Lens Carousel when it’s visible to you. Tap on a Lens tile to “unlock” a Lens (way to gamify the process there, Snap). No word yet on when Len

In a major play to bring more popular contemporary multiplayer games to its service, Microsoft has added Rocket League to the Xbox Game Pass subscription. Now, players who pay the $9.99 (£7.99, AU$10.95) monthly fee for Xbox Game Pass can play as much Rocket League as they wish, complete with nearly all of the game’s downloadable expansion content since its launch. Rocket League isn’t exactly the new hotness on Xbox One , having released back in February 2016 on the console, but that’s not the p

The whole computing world is practically holding its collective breath for a new graphics card launch, but according to ASRock’s official AMD GPU roadmap it seems we still have quite a while to wait. ASRock recently revealed a graphics card roadmap up to February 2019 that only includes the existing Radeon Polaris 500-series and AMD Vega GPUs. Interestingly, rather than it coming out via a leak or rumor, the hardware maker publicly presented its roadmap at the XFastest Network event in Taipei. I

Monster Hunter: World, the hit game which has sold amazingly well on consoles, has now popped up on Steam, with the PC version having a release date of August 9. In other words, you’ll be able to buy the game four weeks from this Thursday (July 12), so there’s not long to wait at all. The not-so-great news, which will certainly cause groans from some folks, is that the game is going to use Denuvo DRM. The recommended requirements for Monster Hunter: World up the processor to an Intel Core i7-377

Like DSLRs, mirrorless cameras (also known as CSCs or compact system cameras) allow you to change lenses, but as the name might suggest, they don’t feature a complex internal mirror system like DSLRs do. They can also be just like super-sized compact cameras to use, whereas DSLRs are a bit of a jump from a regular compact camera. With no mirror, there’s no optical viewfinder, with models either relying on the rear screen or featuring electronic viewfindersEnthusiasts and pros, however, have take

We’ll likely see a Canon full-frame mirrorless camera before the end of this year, according to a new report. It’s previously been rumored that Canon will announce its first full-frame mirrorless camera at Photokina, the camera industry’s big trade show, in September, or early in 2019. What we know so farCanon has done a good job of keeping details of its new mirrorless camera under wraps so far. What we do know is that a new Canon camera, thought to be the full-frame mirrorless model, is curren

The new Nikon Coolpix P1000 is for photographers who felt that the mammoth 83x optical zoom on the P900 didn’t offer quite enough reach. The P1000 delivers the almost unthinkable telephoto reach of 3000mm, with the entire 125x zoom range from 24-3000mm. To help framing when using the long end of the zoom, the P1000 features a snap-back zoom button which temporarily expands the field of view for super-telephoto shots, so you can find your subject and reframe. With such a long zoom range, its no s

One criteria that Google requires phone and tablet manufacturers to comply with if they want access to the internet giant’s Play Store on their Android devices is that Google Chrome and Google Search need to be preinstalled on the device. The decision could also force Google into offering Android users easier ways to swap their browsers and search engines. Android is an open source OS that Google licenses to device manufacturers for free. So if phone makers want access to specific apps, it shoul

Mere hours after Microsoft teased its upcoming Surface device on Twitter , the company has unveiled its newest and cheapest entry in the range – the Surface Go. Users can upgrade to the full Windows 10 for free if they wish, although that’ll likely mean taking a hit in battery life.

The Samsung Galaxy S10 Plus won’t be out until sometime next year, but it’s never too early for a good rumor, right? The latest juicy leak, as reported by Korean website The Bell, states that the upcoming flagship could sport as many as five cameras on its body. Following on from previous reports that Samsung’s Galaxy S10 could come in three models, with the high-end Galaxy S9 Plus successor rumored to include a triple-lens rear camera, it’s now believed that the front of the device will feature
