New real-world data from the UK Health Security Agency has shown a third COVID-19 vaccine dose significantly boosts protection against symptomatic disease. The findings indicate a third dose will be vital in pushing back the growing wave of SARS-CoV-2 … Continue reading Real-world data finds 3rd COVID vaccine dose greatly boosts protection
The rear derailleur is one of the most fragile components on a mountain bike, subject to getting bent or jammed up with trail debris. That’s where the Supre Drive drivetrain comes in, as it moves the derailleur up and divides its functions between two … Continue reading Supre Drive system lifts mountain bike drivetrains out of harm’s way
Limiting how long electric vehicles need to be plugged in for before returning to the road is an important factor in driving their adoption, and much research focuses on reducing these charging times. A new advance leverages an alternative cooling tech… Continue reading Liquid-to-vapor-cooled cable beats the heat for 5-minute EV charging
Though there is so much to learn about the way Alzheimer’s develops in the human brain, amyloid beta proteins have long been implicated in its advance. A new study has uncovered a previously unknown hairpin-like structure within this protein that proved critical to an antibody response seen in mice, with an engineered version of the protein fragment also laying the groundwork for a vaccine against the disease in humans.

A new study by the Planetary Science Institute and UCLA confirms that there are areas in the lunar south polar region where frozen carbon dioxide could exist, raising hopes that there could be significant resources to support future Moon missions.Conti… Continue reading Cold traps that could contain solid CO2 confirmed on the Moon
Glioblastoma is a type of brain cancer that can be aggressive and, unfortunately, tricky to diagnose without a risky biopsy. But a new noninvasive method, tested in mice and pigs, could one day diagnose the disease with ultrasound pulses and a basic bl… Continue reading Ultrasound and blood test could replace invasive brain cancer biopsies
Research into next-generation batteries involves continuous experimentation with alternative materials that might unlock significant performance gains, and a new breakthrough offers a compelling example of what this could look like. Scientists at the U… Continue reading “Open” structure lithium battery material enables 10x faster charging
Lower-body exoskeletons don’t merely thrust the wearer’s legs forward – they move them based on the user’s existing gait. A team at Harvard University has now developed what is claimed to be a better method of gauging that gait, utilizing ultrasound.Co… Continue reading Ultrasound used for better calibration of assistive exoskeletons
Although silver is highly effective at killing bacteria, it can also be toxic to humans in large amounts. That’s where a new wound dressing is intended to come in, as it only releases its silver payload when infections are present.Continue ReadingCateg… Continue reading Wound dressing releases silver nanoparticles when infections occur
