Researchers investigating new diabetes treatments believe they have found evidence indicating excess production of a key neurotransmitter in the liver could be a key causal factor in the onset of insulin resistance. The discovery points to novel preven… Continue reading New clues point to the liver playing a causal role in type 2 diabetes
Ordinarily, if you’re building something, you don’t want the materials to buckle under pressure. In a new Harvard University-designed system, however, that buckling action allows flat-packed objects to be twisted into useful three-dimensional forms.Con… Continue reading Kiriform tech allows flat objects to be twisted into 3D shape
Double star systems may be concealing a population of potentially habitable Earth-sized planets in their combined glare, according to the results of a newly published study. Roughly half of all stars are thought to exist in binary systems, in which two… Continue reading Earth-like planets may be lurking in the glare of binary star systems
Rising to a maximum height of 359.8 m (1,180 ft), the recently opened Hanking Center from Morphosis stands out even in the skyscraper-packed Chinese megacity of Shenzhen thanks to an extraordinary overall form. Described by the firm as an asymmetrical … Continue reading Asymmetrical tower wears core on the outside to make more room inside
Hopes of finding life on Venus had already been dashed, but now a new study may have hammered the last nail into the coffin. New modeling of water activity on different solar system planets has found that Venus would be too dry for even the most extrem… Continue reading Water study may wash out hopes for life on Venus
Germany’s Svevind has announced plans for a colossal green hydrogen project that will place some 45 gigawatts of wind and solar energy generation on the vast steppes of Kazakhstan to produce around three million tonnes of green hydrogen annually.

Researchers from MIT and Harvard have demonstrated a cutting-edge biosensor technology by developing a face mask that can detect SARS-CoV-2 in a wearer’s breath within just 90 minutes. The sensor technology can be programmed to detect any kind of virus… Continue reading MIT and Harvard engineers develop face mask that detects COVID-19
Immunotherapy is a promising avenue for cancer treatment, but it has trouble against solid tumors without triggering major side effects. Now, researchers at McMaster University have developed a new form of the treatment that supercharges a different ty… Continue reading New CAR-NK cell immunotherapy safely tackles breast cancers in lab tests
German startup Sono Motors has introduced new battery technology for its forthcoming Sion electric vehicle that promises to not only power the vehicle across longer trips but allow higher charging rates in between. The battery design also does away wit… Continue reading New battery gives Sono Motors’ PV-paneled car a range boost
In a breakthrough that could greatly ease the burden for patients recovering from cardiac surgery, scientists have developed a new type of temporary pacemaker that never needs to be removed. The world-first device does away with lead and batteries in f… Continue reading World’s first transient pacemaker dissolves in the body after use
