Organ transplants save lives, but complications can arise if the recipient’s immune system rejects the foreign cells. An emerging technique reduces that risk by stripping the donor cells out of the donor organ and replacing them with the recipient’s ow… Continue reading Protein bath helps “recellularize” organs for safer transplants
Elon Musk’s startup Neuralink has shown off the latest version of its brain-machine interface, which a monkey uses to wirelessly play Pong with its mind. The demonstration is both another step forward for the ambitious company and a fascinating look at… Continue reading Elon Musk’s Neuralink has a monkey play Pong with its mind
When you see plastic trash washed up on the shore, don’t you wish there was something you could do? Besides just picking it up, that is? Well, a new app may soon be able to determine where that garbage came from, so action can be taken.Continue Reading… Continue reading Norwegian app designed to sleuth out sources of sea plastic pollution
Liquid cooling is one of the most effective ways to keep computers from overheating. While the natural first choice might be a liquid that runs cold, Microsoft has now done the exact opposite, demonstrating a system to cool its cloud servers by dunking… Continue reading Microsoft’s new cooling system dunks data servers in boiling liquid
Over the past decade or so, gains in efficiency have seen perovskite solar cells become a highly promising technology in the realm of renewable energy, quickly coming to match or even outdo the performance of the monocrystalline silicon solar cells wid… Continue reading Carbon dots made from hair boost stability of perovskite solar cells
Microscopic wars are constantly raging all around, on and inside us, as bacteria fight for resources and room. They’ve developed some crafty weapons in the process, such as tailocins, which act somewhat like “homing missiles” against their enemies. Now… Continue reading Bacterial “homing missiles” could unlock new antibiotic treatments
UPS has signed a deal to buy up to 150 eVTOL aircraft from Vermont’s Beta Technologies, and is expecting to begin using them for time-sensitive zero-emissions deliveries in certain markets in 2024, taking off and landing on-site at UPS depots.Continue … Continue reading UPS plans to start deliveries via eVTOL in 2024
Daily injections of insulin are a hassle for the hundreds of millions of people with diabetes. An oral pill would be much easier to swallow (pun intended), and now researchers from New York University Abu Dhabi have developed a new method for packing i… Continue reading Experimental oral pills auto-release insulin when glucose levels are high
While they’ve been around for centuries in various forms and helped heal many a wound in the process, some scientists see a world of possibility when it comes to how sutures might help the human body. A team at McGill University has come up with novel … Continue reading Next-gen sutures inspired by tendons boost healing and deliver drugs
The brewing of beer produces great quantities of leftover grain, which often ends up being processed into cattle feed. Scientists have developed a new method of extracting the protein and fiber from that waste, however, for use by humans.Continue Readi… Continue reading Scientists harvest valuable protein and fiber from spent brewery grain
