Lizards are famous for their regeneration, able to regrow their tails on demand, but the new tail is not quite perfect. Now, researchers at the University of Southern California (USC) have used stem cell therapy to let lizards grow better tails – bones… Continue reading CRISPR stem cell therapy grants lizards new regeneration powers
eVTOL air taxis will have to spend most of their time in the air if they’re going to be profitable at the super-cheap seat prices these companies are forecasting. That means they’ll need to charge up in little more time than it takes to get passengers … Continue reading Lilium and ABB announce MegaWatt ultra-charging system for eVTOLs
Scientists continue to explore the connection between fasting and the consequences for human health, both good and bad, and part of this research includes diets that merely mimic its effects. A new study has shown how short spurts of these so-called fa… Continue reading Monthly cycles of faux fasting prevent obesity in unhealthy mice
We tend to think of digital storage as being fairly permanent, but the reality is the data you’ve stored on that hard drive, flash drive or CD-ROM likely won’t survive more than 20 to 40 years. With that in mind, Harvard researchers have created what t… Continue reading Robust long-term data storage technology uses tiny drops of dye
Droplet got its start in 2017 building Scandinavian-simple teardrop trailers with a panoramic window array, perfect for viewing the gorgeous sea-to-sky scenery of the company’s British Columbia surrounds. After rolling its original trailers out for fou… Continue reading Droplet XL teardrop camper is a bigger rolling observatory
Living with chronic pain can be very difficult, especially since heavy-duty pain relievers typically have unwanted side effects, and can be habit-forming. An experimental new treatment, however, gets around those limitations by using implanted electrod… Continue reading Implanted microelectrodes used for side-effect-free pain relief
Although many cyclists utilize custom orthotic insoles in their shoes, they typically just use one-size-and-shape-fits-all grips on their handlebars. University of Stuttgart spinoff Personomic is out to change that, with grips that are custom-made for … Continue reading Personomic handlebar grips are custom-made for each buyer’s hands
Blue Origin has successfully completed its second human flight using its New Shepard launch vehicle, with the crew capsule safely touching down in the Texas desert on Wednesday afternoon local time. The RSS First Step mission sees another four astronau… Continue reading 90-year-old William Shatner becomes the oldest person to travel to space
A huge new dataset could soon help unlock the cosmic mystery of fast radio bursts (FRBs). In the space of a few weeks, over 1,600 new signals were detected coming from one of the most well-studied sources of FRBs, essentially ruling out a leading hypot… Continue reading Cosmic mystery of fast radio bursts deepens with flurry of activity
Back in 2015 we saw a new class of drugs emerge with huge potential when it comes to the aging process and how it might be slowed. Scientists working to improve the potency and safety of these so-called senolytic drugs have made a significant discovery… Continue reading Anti-aging drug acts as a “smart bomb” to take out dysfunctional cells
