Tech Xplore / A diving suit for cyborg cockroaches could enhance search-and-rescue operations
Scientists from NTU Singapore and Waseda University have developed a flexible "diving suit" for cyborg cockroaches, enabling the insects to survive and move underwater and in low-oxygen environments for up to three hours. ...
Medical Xpress / Vascular organoid patches offer new hope for coronary artery disease treatment
Ischemic heart disease (IHD), also known as coronary artery disease, is a leading cause of death and morbidity in Western countries. IHD arises when blood vessels of the heart become clogged, blunting oxygen and nutrient ...
Phys.org / Metal hydride molecule trapped with laser light opens path to ultracold hydrogen
Controlling and trapping molecules, units of a substance consisting of two or more chemically bound atoms, with laser light is significantly more challenging than trapping individual atoms. This is because molecules exhibit ...
Phys.org / Grasslands could lose four times more carbon uptake under future drought conditions
The effects of individual climate factors on ecosystems are usually considered in isolation. However, in reality, they occur simultaneously and influence each other. Increasing CO2 concentrations in the atmosphere contribute ...
Phys.org / Some boreal forest species fail to recover even 100 years after clearcutting
Boreal forests are being clear-cut faster than some of their wildlife and plant species can recover, with a few failing to return even 100 years after harvesting, according to University of Alberta-led research.
Phys.org / First-of-a-kind laser spring opens up new avenues for plasma control
When a high-intensity laser interacts with plasma, the charged particles typically oscillate back and forth like waves on the ocean. But what if the laser itself could twist like a whirlpool? Researchers have now demonstrated ...
Phys.org / Computer scientists develop a new AI tool that rivals AlphaFold 3 in mapping RNA
The same family of artificial intelligence that powers today's image generators is now being aimed at one of biology's hardest puzzles: the ever-changing, three-dimensional shapes of RNA. These are the molecules behind mRNA ...
Medical Xpress / Lab-grown retinal cells show promise for new eye therapies
Biomedical engineers at Duke University have used induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) to grow specialized blood vessel cells critical to retinal health for the first time. When injected into mouse models of retinal disease, ...
Medical Xpress / CDC urges people to prevent mosquito bites as West Nile virus season hits a strong, early start
Health officials are encouraging people to use bug spray and mosquito-control efforts as West Nile virus season is off to its earliest and worst start in over two decades.
Tech Xplore / 'Job forever': Trade schools are all the rage in the AI era
Long looked down upon, skilled trades are booming in the United States, especially among young adults drawn by strong demand—even as artificial intelligence (AI) eats into service-sector jobs.
Medical Xpress / Program dramatically improves safety of surgery for children
Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children's Hospital of Chicago achieved more than a 13-fold improvement in surgical safety after implementing a series of interventions based on high-reliability principles across its operating rooms. ...
Phys.org / Rice grown on the moon? Air-to-fertilizer technology helps rice grow in lunar soil simulant
Securing sustainable food supplies is a key challenge for long-term human exploration and potential habitation of the moon. The moon's soil contains no organic material, and essential plant nitrogen sources like ammonia and ...
