40 Years of Superconductor Science Just Got Turned Upside Down by a Stunning Discovery - A material that carries electricity without resistance may be held back by its own structure, challenging 40 years of assumptions about copper-based superconductors. A crystal that scientists thought had the same structure throughout is actually a patchwork of two subtly different arrangements of atoms....
Supramolecular chemical ligation of helical polymers - Chemical ligation of synthetic polymers is achieved via supramolecular polymerization followed by dynamic covalent polycondensation in a process that does not require thermal activation.
Scientists Turn a Cancer-Fueling Protein Into a Powerful New Weapon Against Tumors - A protein that helps cancer grow could become an unlikely ally in treating it, with laboratory and mouse experiments showing that activating it in engineered immune cells curbs tumor growth. Colorectal cancer has become the leading cause of cancer-related death in people under 50, and chemotherapy and...
Chernobylâs Radioactive Debris Is Defying Scientistsâ Expectations 40 Years Later - Some of Chernobylâs radioactive debris is more resilient than scientists expected, offering clues to when the material trapped inside could escape into the environment. Radioactive dust still contaminates the soil around Chernobyl four decades after explosions scattered debris from the nuclear reactor...
New method predicts iron ore behavior for lower-carbon steelmaking - Reducing carbon dioxide emissions from steelmaking requires more efficient ways to turn iron ore into iron. While hydrogen-based technologies offer a promising path toward lower-carbon steel production, conventional blast ...
Scientists Discover Exercise Changes the Body in Ways We Never Fully Understood - Salk Institute researchers have created a molecular map of how healthy mice respond to exercise, offering clues that could help improve performance and reduce injury risk. Exercise can help the body resist disease and dysfunction and recover from illness. Studies have also linked it to more than 30 percent...
Precision Timing Special Report - Choose timing with confidence: compare crystals, oscillators, RTCs, MEMS, and atomic references for reliable designsâdownload the guide. The post Precision Timing Special Report appeared first on EE Times .
Elon Musk unveils Tesla's 'flying' car - Tesla CEO Elon Musk unveiled what he described as a "flying" car, equipped with thrusters, during a livestreamed event at his SpaceX rocket company's facility on Thursday.
Scientists May Have Solved a Billion-Year-Old Mystery About DNAâs Evolution - On an early Earth exposed to intense ultraviolet radiation, the evolution of DNA may have depended on an unexpected molecular advantage. Early life on Earth faced intense ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun without the protection of an ozone layer. Yet DNA came to rely on thymine, a chemical building...
Spreading Life to Bleached Coral - Coral bleaching is a major problem for ocean ecosystems as the ocean gets warmer. Researchers at Stanford have found a new method for regenerating bleached corals. Scientists working on coral âŚread more
Switch tracks: Rewiring rolling stock for a new era - Fast-growing markets in Asia are difficult for global rail OEMs to access. Value could shift from new builds toward servicing and renewalsâwhile OEMs prepare for future opportunities.
Real-time driver warning system helps prevent animal collisions - It's 9 p.m. on a rural mountain highway when a 750-pound (340-kilogram) elk steps onto the road, its silhouette hidden from an oncoming driver by a curve in the terrain. Suddenly, a roadside sign illuminates: "Wildlife Detected ...
Birduino Plays Bird Calls on Demand with NFC-enabled Cards - All [Hannah Robertson]âs Birduino needs is for one to tap an NFC-enabled card to the reader, and the device plays one of the vocalizations associated with the bird shown on âŚread more
Not Getting Enough Daylight Could Be Linked to a Higher Risk of Dementia - Researchers found that insufficient exposure to bright daytime light may be a stronger predictor of dementia than several established risk factors. Greater exposure to bright light during the day may be associated with a lower risk of developing dementia, according to research involving nearly 88,000...
Switching languages can change a chatbot's personality test results - Ask an AI chatbot to complete a personality questionnaire in English, then give it the Mandarin version, and its answers paint a different picture. In tests of five systems, switching languages changed how strongly the responses ...
Scientists Discover a Powerful New Weapon Against a Dangerous Gut Infection - The promise of an experimental treatment for C. difficile gut infections lies partly in the bacteria it leaves alive, according to early laboratory and mouse research. Broad-spectrum antibiotics can disrupt the gutâs microbial community, allowing a bacterium already living there to multiply unchecked....
