3D bioprinting is gaining popularity as a way of treating disease and injury by producing three-dimensional living tissues and organs. However, to work effectively, the “inks” used for bioprinting must be firmed up using UV light or chemical processes…. Continue reading New temperature-controlled 3D-printing bioink safer for artificial organs
Among older adults, hearing loss and dementia are both highly prevalent and are thought to be linked. In a huge new study, a team of international researchers has tried to determine how the two are linked.Continue ReadingCategory: Health & Wellbein… Continue reading Huge new study finds hearing aids may reduce dementia risk
Solar cells are good for the environment, but they have downsides. They’re expensive to make, and there are limited ways to recycle them. But researchers have developed a new manufacturing technique that may address both of these issues.Continue Readin… Continue reading Using microwaves improves production, recyclability of solar cells
With many companies worldwide exploring the implementation of a four-day workweek, new research into the health benefits associated with vacationing would seem to support a move in that direction.Continue ReadingCategory: Health & Wellbeing, Lifest… Continue reading Health benefits of vacationing apply to a four-day workweek, study shows
The male desert sandgrouse might not be much to look at, but his belly feathers give him the unique ability to absorb and carry water. Researchers have, for the first time, closely examined the structure of the feathers to see how they absorb water and… Continue reading Water-absorbing feathers could inspire better bottles and fog harvesters
We may be one step closer to using technology to ensure productive, disease-free crops, thanks to the development of a multifunctional electronic patch ‘worn’ by plants that monitors for the presence of pathogens and environmental stressors.Continue Re… Continue reading Wearable plant patch monitors for disease, environmental stressors
That a new cancer trial is about to start in the US is positive but not out of the ordinary, right? Except it is. This trial will be one of the first undertaken in a real-world clinical setting and represents a new model for future clinical trials.Cont… Continue reading Pragmatic approach may be the way forward for clinical trials
With AI already a big part of everyday life and its involvement only bound to increase, researchers have turned to four- to 11-year-olds to ask how they think we should treat intelligent technology.Continue ReadingCategory: TechnologyTags: Artificial I… Continue reading Alexa vs Roomba: How children think we should treat intelligent tech
Some stars produce dust. But unlike the stuff underneath your TV cabinet, this dust plays a major part in the total luminosity of a galaxy. In a new study, scientists have used long-term observational data to see how interstellar dust correlates with a… Continue reading Intensity of stars is related to the planet-creating dust they produce
Tokamak Energy has released the first images of what its commercial fusion power plant, which it says would safely generate enough electricity to power 50,000 homes in the 2030s, would look like.Continue ReadingCategory: Energy, ScienceTags: Nuclear Fu… Continue reading Tokamak Energy unveils images of fusion power plant slated for 2030s
