Scientists at Australia’s Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO) have genetically engineered the first breed of mosquitoes with resistance to all four serotypes of dengue fever. Continue reading Mosquitoes resistant to all types of dengue virus engineered
New Atlas tries out the Zanco tiny t2 – the world’s smallest working 3G phone – which is designed as a portable secondary device to your expensive smartphone. And yes, it’s exactly as practical as we expected, with a price tag a little too high. Continue reading Zanco tiny t2 review: Hands on with the world’s smallest 3G phone
Researchers have developed what they are calling “super-human red blood cells.” These are normal red blood cells loaded with synthetic drug molecules, creating a powerful hybrid cell designed to deliver drugs to targeted locations in the body. Continue reading “Super-human red blood cells” hide drugs from immune system attack
Scientists at Purdue University have come up with en edible security tag that can be integrated into medicine and emit distinctive light patterns when exposed to LED lights as a way to guarantee its safety and authenticity. Continue reading Edible fluro tags light up prescription drugs to ensure their safety
Scientists have been left dumbfounded after wolf puppies raised in their care exhibited a totally unexpected ability to retrieve a ball much like a domesticated dog, shedding light on how the early stages of dog domestication may have played out. Continue reading Scientists get goosebumps after undomesticated wolf puppies play fetch
The US Navy’s F/A-18 Super Hornet supersonic tactical fighter received a new lease on life in late 2019 when a Block III version of the aircraft flew for the first time equipped with an Infrared Search & Track (IRST) Block II pod. Continue reading F/A-18 Super Hornet gets service-life-extending sensor pod
A new study from a team of Brazilian scientists is reporting results from the first randomized, placebo-controlled clinical trial exploring the effect of cannabidiol (CBD) on anxiety, and anxiety-induced tremors, in Parkinson’s patients. Continue reading Trial finds CBD reduces anxiety-related tremors in Parkinson’s disease
Lockheed Martin has been awarded US$31.9 million by DARPA for further development of a ground-launched hypersonic missile. The contract allows the defense company to begin the Weapon System Integration program for the boost-to-glide weapon system. Continue reading Lockheed Martin to develop ground-launched hypersonic missile
We’ve already heard about experimental self-healing concrete, that can repair cracks within itself. Now, scientists have gone a step further, utilizing bacteria to create building materials that can be grown on-site – and that regenerate when broken. Continue reading Bacteria used to create “living” building materials
As is the case with items that are manufactured in more traditional manners, it’s certainly possible for 3D-printed products to be counterfeited. A new system could help identify such bogus goods, by printing a unique code right into objects. Continue reading Plastic-layer thickness used to form unique IDs for 3D-printed objects
