Samsung’s first 6G prototype demo taps into terahertz frequencies

It may feel like 5G networks are only just finding their feet and becoming mainstream, but the march of technology rarely rests. The next iteration, 6G, is already in the works, and Samsung has now demonstrated its first 6G prototype 6G system in an ov… Continue reading Samsung’s first 6G prototype demo taps into terahertz frequencies→

Existing drug shows promise targeting common cancer mutation

Difficult to detect and with a low survival rate, pancreatic cancer is one of the most insidious forms of the disease. But now, researchers have identified an existing drug that could be repurposed to fight pancreatic cancer by targeting a key gene mut… Continue reading Existing drug shows promise targeting common cancer mutation→

Massive cosmic corkscrews are largest spinning structures ever found

Planets rotate, stars rotate, galaxies and galaxy clusters all rotate. But how far up the chain does this angular momentum go? Astronomers have now discovered evidence that some of the largest scale structures of the universe also rotate – mind-bogglin… Continue reading Massive cosmic corkscrews are largest spinning structures ever found→

Liquid metal mirrors switch reflectivity on and off with a zap

Engineers have found a way to make liquid metals switch between reflective surfaces or those that scatter light. The transition only requires a small zap of electricity and could be used to make mirrors that can be switched on or off.Continue ReadingCa… Continue reading Liquid metal mirrors switch reflectivity on and off with a zap→

“Rogue planet” exomoons could potentially harbor water and life

Contrary to popular belief, not all planets orbit stars – some drift freely through the cosmos on their own. These cold, dark worlds don’t make great candidates for hosting life, but a new study suggests that their moons could be more habitable than th… Continue reading “Rogue planet” exomoons could potentially harbor water and life→

Microspheres coated in stem cells could help mend broken hearts

It’s a cruel reality that the heart has such a limited capacity to heal itself, meaning that people who survive heart attacks often go on to have more. Now, researchers at the University College London (UCL) have grown heart cells from stem cells, embe… Continue reading Microspheres coated in stem cells could help mend broken hearts→

Astronomers discover dying echoes of a supermassive black hole

Japanese astronomers have discovered the echoes of a “dying” supermassive black hole. While the object is quiet now, the team spotted the signatures of two huge radio jets that indicate it only recently fell silent after a bright, active phase.Continue… Continue reading Astronomers discover dying echoes of a supermassive black hole→

Quantum microscope breaks through fundamental barrier to image clarity

Australian researchers have demonstrated a quantum microscope that can break through a fundamental barrier faced by regular microscopes and see tiny structures that are normally invisible. The device “squeezes” light to snap images with far greater cla… Continue reading Quantum microscope breaks through fundamental barrier to image clarity→
