Earlier this year, scientists at Rice University demonstrated a highly promising approach to tackling ovarian and colorectal cancer that centered on “drug factory” beads that could be implanted alongside tumors to destroy them in less than a week. By c… Continue reading Implantable “drug factory” beads destroy tumors in mice within days
Of the many different designs being explored by scientists in pursuit of better batteries, lithium-metal is an architecture that holds great potential. One problem holding the technology back, however, is the formation of tentacle-like growths called d… Continue reading Powder brushed onto electrodes brings high-capacity batteries closer
The James Webb Telescope has provided another mesmerizing perspective of the universe, this time turning its near-infrared camera on a target much closer to home. The instrument’s imagery of Jupiter presents an awe-inspiring look at the gas giant, and … Continue reading James Webb’s dreamy view of Jupiter reveals “remarkable” new detail
Scientists working to expand the potential landing zones for drones have demonstrated a novel approach, enabling the aircraft to safely touch down on steep inclines. The technology builds on the team’s previous work involving walls and lakes, and could… Continue reading Crash-defying quadcopter lands on rooftops pitched at up to 60 degrees
We’ve seen quite a few multitools over the years designed to slot right into a regular wallet for easy transport, and Dango Products has approached this type of thinking with a tactical precision. The company’s A10 Spec-Ops Bifold Adapt Wallet is a ver… Continue reading A10 multitool wallet is a rugged one-stop shop for everyday survival
An aviation company at the cutting edge of electrified air travel has taken a significant step forward, completing a first-of-a-kind test flight using a retrofitted seaplane. Harbour Air’s De Havilland Beaver completed a short hop from the Canadian mai… Continue reading World’s first commercial electric plane completes point-to-point flight
Plastic pollution is a grave and growing concern, but the biggest problems that it poses may just come from its smallest forms. Tiny fragments of the stuff are now strewn across the entire globe and are beginning to show up in different parts of the hu… Continue reading What do we really know about microplastics and human health?
The relationship between temperature and sleep is a highly complicated one, but researchers continue to tease out valuable new insights around how the heat and cold can influence our rest. A new study on fruit flies may help explain why siestas came to… Continue reading “Brain thermometer” circuitry might explain those summer afternoon naps
By combining cutting-edge digital modeling with analysis of a rare, one-of-a-kind fossil, scientists have pieced together the first 3D reconstruction of the Megadolon, the largest shark to ever live. From this new 3D model the scientists were able to g… Continue reading 3D model suggests ancient Megadolon could eat an orca in just five bites
Following more than a decade of development, delays and testing, NASA’s most powerful rocket ever now seems ready for liftoff. The Space Launch System and Orion spacecraft exited the vehicle assembly building yesterday, headed to the launchpad for a ma… Continue reading NASA’s most powerful rocket ever is finally on the launchpad
