Electronics, and batteries in particular, are vulnerable to very high or very low temperatures, but a new thermal switch could help deal with both. It’s made from (what else) graphene foam that can dynamically trap heat when it’s cold out, or allow hea… Continue reading Graphene foam “thermal switch” keeps batteries warm or cool on demand

As revolutionary as they could be, quantum computers still have a few kinks to iron out, such as controlling more than a few dozen qubits at once. Now, researchers at the University of New South Wales (UNSW) have found a way to control potentially mill… Continue reading Crystal prism provides better control to quantum computer chips
A peptide called MOTS-c has shown promise in preventing type 1 diabetes, according to new tests in human cells in culture and live mice. The peptide seems to regulate the immune system, potentially leading to treatments for type 1 diabetes and other au… Continue reading Type 1 diabetes prevented in mice by immune-cell-regulating peptide
NASA’s Curiosity rover has been exploring Gale crater for nine years, and the sediments it’s been studying look an awful lot like those left behind from an ancient lake. But now new research from the University of Hong Kong proposes a much drier explan… Continue reading Curiosity might not have landed in a lake after all, says new model
CAR T cell therapy is a promising new potential treatment for cancer, but it can trigger dangerous side effects in healthy tissue. Now, researchers at the University of California San Diego have found a way to focus the treatment more precisely, by eng… Continue reading Ultrasound guides supercharged immune cells to only attack cancer
Scientists have been able to track the entire life of a mammoth that lived more than 17,000 years ago, right down to the week. By studying the isotopes in different parts of its tusk, the team figured out where in Alaska it likely was at any given poin… Continue reading Life story of one mammoth traced from birth to death, week by week
Our immune system is a powerful ally to keep us safe, but there are times when it gets a little carried away and attacks things that are trying to help us. Now, researchers have developed particles called dendrimers that are covered in tiny tentacles, … Continue reading Tiny tentacled particles could camouflage implants from immune rejection
For all the fancy features of the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X, sometimes you just want to wrap yourself in the comfortable nostalgia of classic games. If you don’t have the original machine still yellowing in your attic, you can buy modernized mini… Continue reading Amiga 500 Mini retro console emerges from the archives
Keen to show off its folding screen tech, Samsung has announced the new generation of its Z Fold and Z Flip phones at its latest Samsung Unpacked event. Most of the changes are skin-deep, but the few spec updates are important – and a price drop sweete… Continue reading Samsung unfurls new Fold and Flip phones – and first under-display camera
