Haptic feedback can give games and other virtual experiences an extra dimension, but it’s hard to achieve. Tech startup Emerge is now having a crack at the idea with the Emerge Wave-1, a device that pairs with a VR headset and emits ultrasonic waves th… Continue reading Ultrasound panel adds mid-air haptic feedback to VR
The CRISPR gene-editing system is a powerful tool that could revolutionize medicine and other sciences, but unfortunately it has a tendency to make edits to the wrong sections of DNA. Now, researchers at the University of Texas at Austin have identifie… Continue reading Protein tweak makes CRISPR gene editing 4,000 times less error-prone
Puerto Rican startup Lift has introduced its third-generation eFoil, offering customers a cheaper point of entry to the young but burgeoning watersport, and a smoother ride at the same time. The company has redesigned its board from the ground up for i… Continue reading Lift’s new lightweight eFoil promises newcomers a smoother ride
Where much of the osteoarthritis experienced by more than 32 million Americans is brought on by gradual wear and tear on the joints, some is triggered by injuries to the articular cartilage that covers the ends of the bones. Scientists have developed a… Continue reading Injectable hydrogel could save injured joints from osteoarthritis
As with most things, nature’s data storage system, DNA, far surpasses anything we’ve created. Now, researchers at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign have doubled its already incredible storage capacity by adding extra letters to its “alphabet,… Continue reading Adding new letters to DNA alphabet doubles density of data storage
A physically active lifestyle is known to promote healthier sleep, but many questions remain as to which types of exercise exactly are best for a good night’s rest. Preliminary research results have offered some compelling new answers in this area, dem… Continue reading Weight training improves sleep more than cardio, study suggests
Asthma is a very common condition and, while it’s treatable, there’s always a need for new options. Researchers at Trinity College Dublin have now found that an inflammatory “off switch” molecule could help treat severe asthma.Continue ReadingCategory:… Continue reading Anti-inflammatory molecule could unlock new treatments for severe asthma
The more we learn about the magnitude of plastic pollution contaminating the planet’s rivers, oceans, and even its mountaintops, the more pressing the need becomes for wide-ranging and coordinated action. In what is being hailed as a historic day, glob… Continue reading UN endorses historic global resolution to “End Plastic Pollution”
Researchers at the University of Chicago have demonstrated a key technology that could help scale up quantum computers, and used it to create a model with a record-breaking 512 qubits. The team combined atoms of two elements into an array, so that one … Continue reading Record-setting hybrid atom array could power quantum computer RAM and CPU
Among the many challenges in treating tumors is the difficulty in getting anti-cancer drugs to the right locations, and in the right amounts. A new type of implant developed at Rice University tackles both these issues, carrying the cellular machinery … Continue reading “Drug factory” beads implanted in mice take out tumors within a week
