Chinese scientists claim to have engineered the world's first mouse with fully reprogrammed genes

Researchers from the International Institute for Nanotechnology at Northwestern University have made a breakthrough by developing a new method to increase the potency of almost any vaccine, according to a press release. How did they do it? Chemistry and nanotechnology were used to change the structural location of adjuvants (a...

The unmanned aircraft with an air-breathing engine, can fly greater than five times the speed of sound, claim the researchers.

What if robots could actually feel? That would make them more efficient at many tasks in industries ranging from space travel to medicine. A new startup is claiming that the next generation of robotics will feature sensory skins, fabricated muscles, and artificial neurons printed on flexible materials that will allow them to feel, according to a press release published by the organization on Friday.

The secret is in the gas.

The new technology will "open the world of microgravity research to a new market."

Whether you're looking at tropical forests in Brazil, grasslands in California, or coral reefs in Australia, it is hard to find places where humanity hasn’t left a mark. The scale of the alteration, invasion, or destruction of natural ecosystems can be mind-bogglingly huge. Thankfully, researchers, governments, and everyday people...

A group of researchers has claimed to have found the cause of the recurring short-circuiting issues of lithium metal batteries with solid electrolytes. The team, which consists of members from Stanford University and SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory, aims to further the battery technology, which is lightweight, inflammable, energy-dense, and offers quick-charge capabilities. Such a long-lasting solution can help to overcome the barriers when it comes to the adoption of electric vehicles around the world.

"Synthetic biology aims to engineer cells that can carry out novel functions," says the University of California, Davis. Regarding this statement, UC Davis biomedical engineers have created semi-living "cyborg cells." As stated in the institutional press release, the cyborg cells, which have the capabilities of living cells but are unable...

A new study conducted by Leiden University researchers suggests that Neanderthals may have lived in larger groups than previously thought and hunted enormous elephants that were up to three times larger than modern elephants, according to the institutional press release. Found near Halle (Central Germany), 125,000 year-old-skeletal remains of elephants...

Physicists from Lund University in Sweden developed small solar radiation-collecting antennas, also known as nanowires, that could be better suited to space than existing silicon solar cells. The new nanowires are light and require a small amount of material, meaning they will soon be tested on satellites that already use...

"The Last of Us," one of HBO's hit shows, would introduce us to a different zombie apocalypse. Rather than biological or chemical weapons, people become zombies due to fungus. As reported by Insider, viewers are pondering whether a fungus pandemic may actually occur in light of the novel premise that was first imagined in the video game on which the television program is based.

A recent image released by NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) shows a spiral galaxy in astonishing detail amidst a legion of other galaxies and stars. The telescope beautifully captured intricate details of the spiral galaxy encompassed by a multitude of other dazzling kaleidoscopic stars and galaxies. The splendid...

Commonplace viral illnesses makes a person more susceptible to Alzheimer's disease and five other catastrophic neurodegenerative diseases (ND), according to a recent study published in Neuron. Unexpected connections were also found between Dementia, Parkinson's disease, multiple sclerosis (MS), Lou Gehrig's disease or amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), and vascular dementia. An...

An international team of scientists is focusing on mercury from Siberian volcanoes that ended up in sediments in Australia and South Africa to understand how the events of the Late Permian Mass Extinction (LPME) unfolded, according to a press release (Jan .26). The team of scientists includes Professor and Department...

“Our discovery of MDA raises many questions on the very nature of liquid water."

ChatGPT, the conversational chatbot from OpenAI might have authored many poems, essays, and even pieces of code so far but is unlikely to get author credit for a peer-reviewed paper anytime soon. Major science publishing houses like Springer Nature and Elsevier have specified that they will not consider ChatGPT as...

The Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST) has announced the development of "RaiBo," a robodog that can walk robustly even in deformable terrain like sandy beaches. The research team led by Professor Jemin Hwangbo of the Department of Mechanical Engineering created the quadrupedal robot control technology, according to...

Could water-based propulsion be the future of CubeSat navigation?. A Japanese propulsion company launched its first experimental water-based thruster technology to space aboard a SpaceX Falcon 9 rideshare mission earlier this month, a press statement reveals. The company, called Pale Blue, installed its technology on a Sony nanosatellite. The Japanese...

Nvidia, a US-based GPU manufacturer, recently unveiled AI technology called "Magic3D" that could generate 3D models from a text prompt. A brand-new text-to-3D content generation tool called Magic3D produces 3D mesh models with unmatched quality. They provide customers with new ways to control 3D synthesis, image conditioning techniques, and prompt-based editing methods, opening up new vistas for numerous creative applications, explained the Magic3D developers.

Two months after OpenAI introduced ChatGPT to the public, students flocked to the AI tool to write their assignments, exams, software codes, and whatnot. This resulted in universities beginning to crack down on the usage of ChatGPT. A few science journals even banned the use of the chatbot in their journals.
