Just as pathogens evolve new tricks to evade our body’s safeguards and cause infection, our immune system can also develop new tricks that keep these nasty invaders at bay. New research has revealed an interesting example of this, demonstrating how the… Continue reading Immune system found to evolve a tripwire defense for invading viruses
Like weeds that grow back if you don’t remove the roots, cancer can keep returning thanks to lurking stem cells. Now, researchers have developed a “designer” DNA segment that can eradicate these cancer stem cells, with tests in mice showing promising e… Continue reading Designer DNA molecule helps hunt down cancer stem cells in blood

Scientists investigating an experimental battery chemistry have wound up with a flexible device they say offers up to 10 times the energy density of current lithium-ion solutions, making it an ideal fit for a number of applications. The technique also … Continue reading Printable, flexible battery offers 10 times the density of lithium-ion
Self-driving cars typically use both LiDAR and radar to detect obstacles on the road ahead, yet neither system is adept at identifying vehicles through fog. Now, though, engineers have discovered that radar is good at the task if it’s “doubled up.”Cont… Continue reading Dual-radar tech could help self-driving cars see through fog
When it comes to dreaming up locomotion solutions for advanced robots, scientists regularly turn to the natural world for inspiration, and the marine environment is a particularly rich source of ideas. The latest example of this is a highly efficient “… Continue reading “Squidbot” propels itself with jets of water just like the real thing
A new proof of concept study, led by researchers at University of California San Diego School of Medicine, has demonstrated how speech-analyzing artificial intelligence tools can effectively predict the level of loneliness in older adults.Continue Read… Continue reading AI system detects loneliness in natural speech patterns
We’ve seen the powerful ways the CRISPR gene-editing tool could bring about better health outcomes by targeting and replacing specific pieces of DNA, but scientists at the University of California San Diego (UCSD) have been exploring a different approa… Continue reading CRISPR gene-editing tool tweaked to tackle muscular dystrophy via RNA
There are now several robots that are designed to accompany and assist ground-based army troops. Those machines could soon have a new ability – detecting changes in the environment that may be missed by soldiers.Continue ReadingCategory: Robotics, Tech… Continue reading LiDAR tech lets robots spot what soldiers may miss
The petroleum polymers used in construction of flip flops are critical to the durability and comfort of the immensely popular footwear, but are a huge contributor to our plastic pollution problem as they take a long time to break down once discarded. A… Continue reading Algae-based, biodegradable flip flops are built to go the distance
