Dinosaur fans will already be familiar with the ichthyosaurus, a prehistoric marine reptile that resembled a dolphin in appearance. Well it now seems that one of its close relatives, named Hupehsuchus, fed much like a modern-day baleen whale.Continue R… Continue reading Newly discovered skulls suggest prehistoric reptile fed like a whale
It’s been about seven years since researchers used the CRISPER gene-editing system to reverse a blindness-inducing condition called retinitis pigmentosa in stem cells outside the body. Now, using a more refined version of CRISPR, a different research t… Continue reading Vision restored in mice thanks to refined CRISPR system
After the summer so much of the world has sweltered through this year, better ways to cool buildings are on a lot of people’s minds. Researchers in China have now spruced up the humble window with hydrogel-glass, a material that can selectively block h… Continue reading Hydrogel glass windows let in more light and less heat
We’ve already heard about conductive inks that allow electrical circuits to be hand-drawn onto materials, using a ballpoint pen. Scientists have now developed a new such ink, which they claim is cheaper and more functional than others.Continue ReadingC… Continue reading Scientists create a cheaper, better-flowing conductive pen ink
A Chinese team has demonstrated a prototype of a microwave plasma thruster capable of working in the Earth’s atmosphere and producing thrust with an efficiency comparable to the jet engines you’d find on modern airliners – under laboratory conditions.C… Continue reading Electric microwave plasma thruster could rival traditional jet engines
