Phys.org / Scientists use RNA nanotechnology to program living cells, opening a new path for cancer cure
Scientists at Rutgers University–Newark have developed a first-of-its-kind RNA-based nanotechnology that assembles itself inside living human cells and can be programmed to stop propagation of harmful cells. The findings, ...
Tech Xplore / From trash to takeoff: Pilot plant produces 100 kg of sustainable aviation fuel per day from landfill gas
The aviation industry accounts for a significant share of global carbon emissions. In response, the international community is expanding mandatory use of Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF), which is produced from organic waste ...
Phys.org / How gold is formed in China's Tianshan mountains
A new study led by Prof. Xiao Wenjiao from the Xinjiang Institute of Ecology and Geography of the Chinese Academy of Sciences sheds light on the ore-forming process and key mechanisms of the gold deposit in the South Tianshan ...
Medical Xpress / Americans prefer to screen for cervical cancer in-clinic vs. at home, finds study
American women now have the option of screening for cervical cancer at home, using newly approved self-collection tools. While experts hope this will increase uptake in the under-screened population, a first-of-its kind study ...
Phys.org / Two huge hot blobs of rock influence Earth's magnetic field, study reveals
Exploring Earth's deep interior is a far bigger challenge than exploring the solar system. While we have traveled 25 billion km into space, the deepest we have ever gone below our feet is just over 12 km. Consequently, little ...
Medical Xpress / Physical education can boost children's health and education—let's make it central to the curriculum
The benefits of physical activity for children are enormous. As researchers of physical education (PE)—and ex-PE teachers—we know evidence shows it can have a positive impact on mental and physical health, social relationships, ...
Medical Xpress / Brain network identified for effective treatment of Parkinson's disease
Deep brain stimulation (DBS) improves motor symptoms of Parkinson's disease by modulating a specific brain network that is mainly active in the fast beta frequency range (20 to 35 Hz). This conclusion was reached by an interdisciplinary ...
Tech Xplore / New AI system fixes 3D printing defects in real time
Additive manufacturing has revolutionized manufacturing by enabling customized, cost-effective products with minimal waste. However, with the majority of 3D printers operating on open-loop systems, they are notoriously prone ...
Tech Xplore / Near-perfect bonding between key fusion reactor materials achieved
A research team led by Prof. Huang Qunying from the Hefei Institutes of Physical Science of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) and the Shenyang National Laboratory for Materials Science has achieved nearly defect-free ...
Phys.org / From cryogenic to red-hot: Optical temperature sensing from 77 K to 873 K
An international collaboration involving researchers from the University of Innsbruck has developed a novel luminescent material that enables particularly robust and precise optical temperature sensing across an exceptionally ...
Medical Xpress / Dual-action molecule design concentrates cancer treatment in tumor cells to allow higher doses
Wistar scientists have combined a promising cancer therapy with a molecule that targets tumors to treat cancer more effectively. The new approach could be a way to deliver treatment directly to tumors at higher doses, while ...
Medical Xpress / CRISPR approach turns oncogene amplification into a weakness in multiple solid tumors
The onset and aggressiveness of cancer are related to the abnormal behavior of certain genes, known as oncogenes. The best-known of these alterations is mutation, but it is not the only one. Sometimes, within a cell, a very ...
