Aging comes for us all – but perhaps the unpleasant symptoms don’t have to. In a new study, scientists may have found a kind of anti-aging immunotherapy, reinvigorating immune cells to better clear out defunct cells known to contribute to the aging pro… Continue reading New immunotherapy fights aging symptoms by clearing out defunct cells
By using light to target genetically modified neurons, scientists are demonstrating new and exciting ways to control very specific regions of the brain. Known as optogenetics, this technique has the potential to treat many debilitating health condition… Continue reading Brain implant enables remote control of social interactions between mice
Striking research out of the University of Washington (UW) is estimating the global death toll from COVID-19 could be more than twice as high as official numbers show. Tracking overall 2020 mortality figures from around the world, the data indicates ne… Continue reading New report estimates true COVID-19 death toll is double current figures
NASA’s Origins, Spectral Interpretation, Resource Identification, Security, Regolith Explorer (OSIRIS-REx) robotic deep-space probe is returning from the near-Earth asteroid Bennu. On May 10, 2021 at 4:23 pm EDT, the spacecraft began its 2.5-year journ… Continue reading OSIRIS-REx headed back to Earth with “abundance” of asteroid samples
Microneedle patches already show a great deal of promise as a painless alternative to hypodermic needles. A new one, however, could find use as a more effective means of treating serious bacterial infections of the skin.Continue ReadingCategory: Medica… Continue reading Microneedle patch designed to sock it to skin infections
There are now a number of materials designed to give robots or prostheses a sense of touch. And while most of them are thin and skin-like, a new alternative takes the form of a spongey foam – and it combines several desirable qualities.Continue Reading… Continue reading Touch-sensitive, self-healing AiFoam may find use in robotics and more
Ever since the 1890s, cricket bat blades have been made of willow wood. According to a new study, however, bamboo bats should offer better performance and a lower environmental footprint, plus they could make the sport more accessible to people living … Continue reading Study suggests bamboo cricket bats could outperform wood
More than 40 years after launch, Voyager 1 is still making new discoveries. The latest achievement by the craft is the detection of a faint, plasma “hum,” indicating that there may be more activity in interstellar gas than previously thought.Continue R… Continue reading Voyager 1 detects plasma “hum” in interstellar space
While there’s evidence of volcanic activity in Mars’ ancient past, it was presumed to have been quiet for millions of years. But now, orbiters have spotted a large volcanic deposit that appears to be relatively fresh – only about 53,000 years old – whi… Continue reading “Recent” volcanic eruption on Mars boosts subsurface life hypothesis
The accumulation of plaque inside the arteries can be an insidious condition with grave consequences that include blood clots and strokes, but luckily it does give off some tell-tale signs. Researchers in the UK have developed a new type of glowing pro… Continue reading Glowing probe lights up the signs of cardiovascular trouble
