Key mechanism behind human stem cell differentiation uncovered

Human stem cells can differentiate into any human cell. But the process of dedifferentiation, essentially differentiation in reverse, is implicated in several diseases. Now researchers have uncovered a mechanism that is key to the process of stem cell … Continue reading Key mechanism behind human stem cell differentiation uncovered

New class of drug could treat leukemia with fewer side effects

Scientists have identified two molecules that could help treat leukemia, in a way that’s far less damaging to healthy cells than existing chemotherapy. The compounds work using a different mechanism that’s more selective for cancerous cells, and import… Continue reading New class of drug could treat leukemia with fewer side effects

Springy robot jumps higher than any other robot or animal

If you say “jump” I say “how high?” – and a new robot from UC Santa Barbara says “over 100 ft (30 m).” The research team says that’s higher than anything else has ever jumped, be it robot or animal, thanks to a unique design that multiplies its stored … Continue reading Springy robot jumps higher than any other robot or animal

Tunneling snake robot takes cues from nature to keep its head in the sand

Robots are great at exploring land, sea, sky and space, but one environment that’s trickier for them to navigate is through the ground. Now, engineers at UC Santa Barbara (UCSB) and Georgia Tech have developed a snake-like robot that uses a range of me… Continue reading Tunneling snake robot takes cues from nature to keep its head in the sand

Samsung’s first 6G prototype demo taps into terahertz frequencies

It may feel like 5G networks are only just finding their feet and becoming mainstream, but the march of technology rarely rests. The next iteration, 6G, is already in the works, and Samsung has now demonstrated its first 6G prototype 6G system in an ov… Continue reading Samsung’s first 6G prototype demo taps into terahertz frequencies
