ESA is working on ways to make sharing unwashed underwear used in spacesuits a bit less horrible. The Austrian Space Forum (OeWF) will work with the Vienna Textile Lab on the BACTeRMA project to test textiles with improved anti-bacterial properties for… Continue reading ESA seeks ways to make shared spacesuit underwear more hygienic
Researchers at the University of Queensland (UQ) have developed a new vaccine candidate for dengue virus, a notoriously tricky pathogen to deal with. The new candidate has a number of advantages over existing treatments, with tests on mice using micron… Continue reading Dengue virus vaccine candidate shows promise in mouse tests
Scientists at Harvard University have come up with a promising new design for an experimental battery, one which they say could lead to electric cars that charge in as little as 10 minutes. The alternative architecture is also claimed to offer a far lo… Continue reading Sandwich-style battery could charge EVs in as little as 10 minutes
A new study published in the journal Nature is reporting on the broadest genomic analysis of ancient poo ever conducted. The research reveals clues to ancient gut bacteria compositions, detecting microbial species never before seen in modern microbiome… Continue reading Ancient microbiome study discovers unknown types of gut bacteria
Geologists have studied tiny pockets of fluids trapped inside diamonds to get a better understanding of how old humanity’s favorite rocks might be. In doing so, they identified three distinct periods of diamond formation in Africa over the past few bil… Continue reading Diamond liquid impurities provide new insights into ancient Earth
Startup Rocket Lab is pressing ahead with its ambitions to turn its Electron booster into a reusable orbital launch vehicle, with plans to recover the rocket’s first stage for a second time this weekend. The upcoming mission will see the rocket splash … Continue reading Rocket Lab to test advanced heat shield for Electron booster recovery
Antibiotic-resistant bacteria, or “superbugs,” pose one of the most dangerous looming threats to public health. Now, researchers at the University of Georgia have found a new potential weakness in some of the worst strains, which could make them choke … Continue reading New drug target makes superbugs choke on their own toxic molecules
It’s been a while since we saw a hardware update to the Vive line, but HTC has made up for it by launching two 5K-resolution virtual reality headsets at the same time: the PC-connected Vive Pro 2, and the standalone Vive Focus 3.Continue ReadingCategor… Continue reading HTC targets professionals with two new high-end Vive VR headsets
We’ve already seen wirelessly powered implants that stimulate muscles or neurons when activated by an external transmitter. Taking things a step further, scientists are now able to activate multiple implants sequentially, still using just one transmitt… Continue reading Wireless system lets one device sequentially trigger multiple implants
By better understanding the way cancer cells are able to thrive in the human body, scientists continue to learn where their vulnerabilities lie, and with that comes potential new forms of treatment. Researchers in Canada taking this approach have made … Continue reading Addicted pancreatic cancer cells die when denied key protein
