New research led by the Duke Cancer Institute has identified one of the ways cholesterol can enhance the ability of cancer cells to metastasize. The study focused particularly on breast cancer, shedding light on prior observational research linking sta… Continue reading Researchers discover how cholesterol feeds cancer metastasis
The human body contains a number of different types of fat, and one with particularly insidious effects is visceral fat, which can be found deep inside the abdominal cavity. These deep-lying fat stores wrap around the organs and are linked to a range o… Continue reading Study pinpoints “interpreter” cells that trigger burning of deep fat
Looking to offer outdoor-enthusiasts a more eco-friendly solution than your typical polyurethane-walled cooler, or even worse, one of the disposable styrofoam variety, startup Wool Street has come to the party with the world’s first wool-insulated cool… Continue reading Fully recyclable Wooly cooler packs its walls with wool instead of foam
A new preclinical study published in the journal Nature is demonstrating how fructose can alter cells in the small intestine, subsequently enhancing nutrient absorption and promoting weight gain. The research indicates excessive fructose consumption, s… Continue reading Researchers discover how fructose enhances fat absorption in the gut
By combining miniaturized electronics with some origami-inspired fabrication, scientists in Germany have developed what they say is the smallest microsupercapacitor in existence. Smaller than a speck of a dust but with a similar voltage to a AAA battery, the groundbreaking energy storage device is not only safe for use in the human body, but actually makes use of key ingredients in the blood to supercharge its performance.

While the data on most memory devices can be read using electric signals, an emerging technology encodes data in light, so a system can read it back just by checking if an LED is on or off. Now, researchers have developed a new device based entirely on… Continue reading Perovskite memory device transmits data in both light and electricity
UAV Factory has rolled out its new Penguin C Mk2 VTOL pilot-less rotorcraft, which increases flight efficiency thanks to automatic hoods that stow away the lift rotors when not in use. The company says its new Aeroflow boom technology reduces drag in h… Continue reading Penguin C drone hides rotors in flight for efficiency boost
The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has now fully approved Pfizer’s mRNA vaccine, making it the first COVID-19 vaccine to be completely authorized and marked as safe for use. The approval is hoped to instill confidence in those still hesitant to … Continue reading Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine is first to receive full FDA approval
Dedicated bicycle commuters may not let a little rain stop them, but that still doesn’t mean they like getting rained on when they ride. The Softtop, from German manufacturer RainRider, is one of the latest gadgets that’s designed to help keep them dry… Continue reading Softtop offers a new take on keeping cyclists dry
As 5G networks become more widespread, scientists are already preparing the next generation of the communication technology. Researchers at LG and Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft have now demonstrated 6G transmission across a new distance record.Continue Readi… Continue reading LG sets new distance record for 6G transmission
