Adoption of wireless charging has been fairly slow, but it could pick up if it worked over longer distances. Now, engineers at Aalto University have developed a new system that can allow more efficient wireless power transmission over longer distances…. Continue reading Wireless charging technique boosts long-distance efficiency to 80%
Scientists have discovered a previously unknown type of immune cell that develops in people who successfully fight off cancer. Unlike other killer T cells, these home in on multiple cancer-associated targets at once, preventing new tumors forming for u… Continue reading Super killer T-cells discovered in patients who beat cancer
Astronomers have detected a radio signal in our galaxy that blares for several minutes at a time, every 21 minutes, and has been doing so for at least 35 years. This bizarre signal doesn’t fit the bill for any known object without some major revisions … Continue reading Unexplained cosmic radio signal repeats every 21 minutes for 35 years
Viruses may get a bad rap, but some of them can be helpful to fight off bacterial infections. Scientists at ETH Zurich have demonstrated a new way to use them to diagnose which bacteria is causing a UTI, and then launch a stronger attack against them.C… Continue reading Bacteria-hunting viruses help diagnose and treat UTIs
The ingredients in stars are usually pretty evenly mixed throughout, but now astronomers have discovered a bizarre star with two distinct faces, each made of a different element, which defies explanation.Continue ReadingCategory: Space, ScienceTags: As… Continue reading Bizarre two-faced white dwarf star defies explanation
Scientists have discovered that a common natural sugar could play a role in boosting cancer treatments like chemotherapy. Mannose was found to be able to invoke “honeybee syndrome” in cancer cells to slow their growth and make them more vulnerable to a… Continue reading Natural sugar induces “honeybee syndrome” in cancer to boost chemotherapy
If you’ve ever felt like you need more hours in the day, well how does 60 sound? A new study suggests we’d have 60-hour days by now if a stalemate between the Sun and Moon hadn’t interfered with Earth’s rotation for over a billion years.Continue Readin… Continue reading Billion-year conspiracy between Sun and Moon prevented 60-hour days
The most intriguing fossils tell a story about the animal’s life, or where and how it lived, and paleontologists have now uncovered a doozy. The fossils of a dinosaur and a small mammal have been discovered locked in combat when they apparently died to… Continue reading Fossilized fight scene found, featuring mammal vs. dinosaur
Conventional breeding of trees takes time, but CRISPR gene editing should help speed things up. Now, scientists at North Carolina State University have used CRISPR to adjust the genomes of poplar trees to make them easier to turn into paper products.Co… Continue reading CRISPR tweaks tree genetics to make paper more suastainably
Most of us begrudgingly accept aging as a part of life – but maybe we don’t have to. A new study led by scientists at Harvard Medical School has identified chemical cocktails that can restore cells to a more youthful state, paving the way for aging-rev… Continue reading Chemical cocktail offers “potential to reverse aging with a single pill”
