Using an experimental gene therapy, Harvard scientists have successfully restored vision to mice suffering glaucoma by effectively rewinding the aging process in their cells. While still in the early stages, the team says the research is a proof of con… Continue reading Anti-aging gene therapy restores vision to mice with glaucoma
Making plastic materials out of biomass instead of crude oil and natural gas offers a number of environmental benefits, but these so-called bioplastics tend to underperform in a few key areas. Scientists at the University of Akron may have found a solu… Continue reading Durable new bioplastic can hold boiling liquids
A new study looking at data from a clinical trial investigating the beneficial effects of a plant-based diet has found a person’s blood type has no effect on weight loss or cardiometabolic health in response to the dietary intervention.Continue Reading… Continue reading Dieting based on blood type debunked yet again in new clinical trial
Washington’s Nomad Awnings has developed a vehicle awning that’s as spontaneous and flexible as the nomadic van lifestyle itself. No cranks or legs to mess around with, the awning simply pulls straight out in seconds and throws shade up over the patch … Continue reading Fast-action, legless car camping awning works like a window shade
While consumer-oriented underwater drones are becoming increasingly popular, better-equipped ROVs (remotely operated vehicles) are still the weapon of choice for industrial applications. One of the latest – and coolest-looking – is the SRV-8.Continue R… Continue reading SRV-8 ROV looks good, goes deep
Researchers at Lancaster University have developed a new material that can store energy for months, and potentially years, at a time. The material can be activated by light, and then release the pent-up energy on demand in the form of heat.Continue Rea… Continue reading Light-activated material stores potential energy for months or years
Rheinmetall has unveiled its latest armed battlefield robot designed for tactical intelligence gathering and combat support. Part of the company’s Mission Master Autonomous – Unmanned Ground Vehicle (A-UGV) family, the Mission Master – Armed Reconnaiss… Continue reading Rheinmetall’s new armed reconnaissance robot also provides fire support
Perovskite solar cells have come along in leaps and bounds since they were first described in 2009, with efficiencies improving from around four percent to the mid- or even high twenties in recent designs. One drawback, however, is the notorious instab… Continue reading Old pigment brings some stability to new perovskite solar cell design
With the mystery of fast radio bursts looking increasingly solved, astronomers need a new cosmic conundrum to ponder. And right on cue, a brand new noodle-scratcher has emerged from the depths of space – everyone, meet “odd radio circles,” or ORCs.Cont… Continue reading “Odd radio circles” are the latest cosmic mystery to stump astronomers
Right on cue, Nvidia has announced its newest GPU, the GeForce RTX 3060 Ti. If you were on the fence about forking out for the RTX 30 Series flagships a few months ago, the 3060 Ti brings at least some of that power down to a more palatable price.Conti… Continue reading GeForce RTX 3060 Ti packs moderate power into entry-level GPU
