Drug cocktail regrows frog legs in regenerative medicine breakthrough

After losing a limb, animals like axolotls have the amazing ability to regrow a fully functional replacement, while most other creatures can only look on in envy. But in a breakthrough new study, scientists have demonstrated how a single dose of a drug… Continue reading Drug cocktail regrows frog legs in regenerative medicine breakthrough

Nuclear fusion milestone creates “burning plasma” for the first time

For the prospect of limitless, clean energy produced through nuclear fusion to become a reality, scientists need the reactions at the heart of the technology to become self-sustaining, and newly published research has edged them closer to that goal. Sc… Continue reading Nuclear fusion milestone creates “burning plasma” for the first time

Stretchable, flexible thermometer could find use in soft robotics

In order for it to be truly soft, a soft-bodied robot can’t contain any hard, rigid components. That’s why we’ve already seen soft batteries, circuits and actuators. Now, a squishy, stretchable thermometer has joined that list.Continue ReadingCategory:… Continue reading Stretchable, flexible thermometer could find use in soft robotics

Sensor-equipped “smart” saddle provides feedback on riding technique

When learning to ride horses, equestrians have to become proficient in relaying cues to the animal via subtle changes in their riding posture. And while the horse can’t tell them if they’re doing so correctly, a new “smart” saddle possibly could.Contin… Continue reading Sensor-equipped “smart” saddle provides feedback on riding technique

Bizarre radio signal repeating every 18 minutes discovered in Milky Way

Astronomers have discovered a bizarre radio signal coming from somewhere in our galaxy that can’t be explained by any known object. When it’s active the source gives off energetic radio bursts lasting up to a minute, every 20 minutes – which should be … Continue reading Bizarre radio signal repeating every 18 minutes discovered in Milky Way

How to predict who is most likely to develop long COVID

A pair of new studies have homed in on key biomarkers that could help identify, at the point of initial infection, those most at risk of developing long COVID. The studies suggest a combination of immune biomarkers and acute symptoms can be used to pre… Continue reading How to predict who is most likely to develop long COVID

Tough new “gas marble” bubbles survive for over a year

Bubbles aren’t known for their lengthy lifespans, usually only giving a few seconds or minutes of childlike joy before they pop. But a team of French scientists has developed a new way to make longer-lasting bubbles, with the record holder surviving fo… Continue reading Tough new “gas marble” bubbles survive for over a year

Joby S4 hits 205 mph, flying further and faster than any eVTOL to date

The Joby aircraft's six rotors all tilt forward in a vectored thrust configuration to achieve high-speed horizontal winged flight

Joby Aviation has continued expanding the envelope on its S4 electric air taxi prototypes, and on Friday the California company registered what it believes is the fastest eVTOL test flight in history, hitting a true airspeed of 205 mph (330 km/h).

Post-COVID brain fog linked to immune abnormalities in spinal fluid

A small study has built on a growing body of evidence indicating long COVID symptoms may be linked to abnormal immune system activity. The new research found unexpected markers of inflammation in the cerebrospinal fluid of several patients experiencing… Continue reading Post-COVID brain fog linked to immune abnormalities in spinal fluid
