Phys.org / Nanorobots based on reconfigurable DNA origami arrays can work autonomously
Over the past decades, a growing number of robotics teams have started developing modular robots inspired by the ancient paper-folding art of origami. More recently, some of these teams started experimenting with origami ...
Phys.org / The hidden rule behind ignition: An analytic law governing multi-shock implosions for ultrahigh compression
Physicists at the University of Osaka have unveiled a breakthrough theoretical framework that uncovers the hidden physical rule behind one of the most powerful compression methods in laser fusion science—the stacked-shock ...
Medical Xpress / Two first-in-class antibodies can inhibit inflammation in autoimmune diseases
An international research group directed by UMC Utrecht has developed and characterized two first-in-class antibodies that specifically block the high-affinity IgG receptor FcγRI. Their findings open new perspectives for ...
Phys.org / Scientists use Icelandic mudrocks to prepare for Mars sample analysis
To say that a trip from Earth to Mars is merely a long one would be a massive understatement. On July 30, 2020, when the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) sent its Mars rover "Perseverance" atop an Atlas ...
Medical Xpress / A 'magic bullet' for polycystic kidney disease in the making
Polycystic kidney disease (PKD) is a debilitating hereditary condition in which fluid-filled sacs form and proliferate in the kidneys. Over time, the painful, growing cysts rob the organs of their function, often leading ...
Medical Xpress / AI tool can analyze complex cancer images rapidly—offering potential to personalize treatment
Complex digital images of tissue samples that can take an experienced pathologist up to 20 minutes to annotate could be analyzed in just one minute using a new AI tool developed by researchers at the University of Cambridge.
Medical Xpress / Targeted drug could benefit young patients with invasive sarcoma
A collaborative research team, led by scientists at VCU Massey Comprehensive Cancer Center and Huntsman Cancer Institute at the University of Utah, has identified a targeted drug that could effectively treat an aggressive ...
Phys.org / Heat-resistant kelp cultivars for warmer seas: A novel triploid breeding method
Kelp species such as Saccharina japonica and Undaria pinnatifida serve as critical global economic resources. However, global warming, marked by rising seawater temperatures, is severely impacting kelp cultivation. This reality ...
Phys.org / Using theory and data to create new single atom catalysts for cleaner chlorine production
Chlorine is an essential industrial chemical used in products ranging from disinfectants to plastics. Yet producing chlorine requires the chlorine evolution reaction (CER), a process that consumes a significant amount of ...
Medical Xpress / Seborrheic dermatitis: Large US cohort reveals pattern of epithelial barrier disease overlap
Researchers at the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania report that adults with seborrheic dermatitis in a large US cohort had higher odds of multiple epithelial barrier diseases across skin, respiratory, ...
Tech Xplore / Disney teaches a robot how to fall gracefully and make a soft landing
Bipedal (two-legged) robots are sophisticated machines, but they are not the most graceful when things go wrong. A simple push, fall or an obstacle can send them crashing to the ground, often resulting in expensive damage ...
Phys.org / Extending the lifespan of electrocatalysts via continuous chromium dissolution
Although chromium itself is not an active element, its continuous dissolution enables a reversible surface transformation that keeps the Co-Cr spinel oxide electrocatalyst active and stable. This could significantly improve ...
