Medical Xpress / Pig kidney xenotransplant successfully bridges patient with end-stage kidney disease to human transplant
In January 2026, Tim Andrews, who had received a genetically edited pig kidney in January 2025, became the recipient of a human kidney. A new Mass General Brigham paper, published in The Lancet, details Andrews' experience ...
Tech Xplore / Supercooled water enables 3D printing of ice
Physicists from the University of Amsterdam have developed a method to print three-dimensional structures in ice. The researchers show how small pillars can be printed at an angle, making it possible to print arbitrary profiles ...
Medical Xpress / Neural networks reveal how experience shapes learning in both brains and machines
A new study has used a type of machine learning called a neural network to reveal how different kinds of training can change how learning happens—both in machines and in living brains.
Phys.org / Not tiger, not wolf: Australian thylacine skull reveals a far different hunting style
A new study led by Flinders University has flipped the historical narrative about Australia's thylacine, finding the native apex predator known as the "Tasmanian tiger" was significantly different from the wolves and wild ...
Tech Xplore / Four-legged robot learns dog-like movements to leap through tight spaces
Cats, dogs, wolves and other agile four-legged animals can easily jump and squeeze through tight spaces while moving at high speed. Reproducing similar agile motions and skills in quadrupedal robots has so far proved challenging.
Medical Xpress / Three psychedelic drugs affect the brain differently, brain scans in rats suggest
In recent years, psychedelic drugs have attracted growing interest as potential treatments for conditions including depression, anxiety and addiction. Although these drugs are often considered one group, researchers from ...
Tech Xplore / Improved method for producing sustainable hydrogen offers a surprising side benefit
Producing hydrogen is essential for some of the world's biggest industrial and agricultural needs, but it also comes with a steep environmental cost: Most hydrogen made today is generated through processes that release large ...
Medical Xpress / Scientists in France pinpoint why STING pathway hasn't been harnessed for cancer therapy yet
Deep within the cellular landscape, a quiet failure was taking place, impeding a potentially successful form of cancer treatment. For years, scientists hoped an essential part of the innate immune system that detects foreign ...
Phys.org / BESIII sets world's most stringent direct limit on Lambda hyperon electric dipole moment
The BESIII Collaboration, led by the Institute of High Energy Physics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, has achieved the world's most precise measurement of the electric dipole moment (EDM) of the Lambda (Λ) hyperon using ...
Phys.org / Trees use a 'muscle' to correct their posture—a newly discovered role for tension wood
A research team from INRAE and the University Clermont Auvergne has shown that trees are capable of correcting a curvature they detect in their stems through a specific biological process. In the study, young trees with bent ...
Medical Xpress / NFL settlement testing may miss measurable cognitive decline in players with advanced CTE
Researchers at Boston University have completed the largest study to date characterizing the cognitive symptoms of NFL players with confirmed chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) who underwent neuropsychological tests while ...
Phys.org / New nanostructure makes non-linear light conversion 72,000 times more efficient
Researchers from Graz University of Technology (TU Graz), Harvard and the University of Texas at Austin (UT Austin) have developed an innovative method for coupling light non-linearly. This opens up new possibilities for ...
