Administrator A bold new plan could finally cure type 1 diabetes Researchers are developing a two-part therapy for type 1 diabetes: lab-made insulin-producing cells paired with custom-engineered immune cells that protect them. The goal is to stop the immune system ... devices medical
Administrator Laser printed hydrogel implant could transform bone repair When a bone break is too severe to heal on its own, surgeons often rely on grafts or rigid metal implants — but both come with serious drawbacks. Now, researchers at ETH Zurich have created a jelly-li... devices medical
Administrator One-way quantum synchronization could make quantum computers more reliable Scientists at RIKEN have proposed a new way to make quantum systems synchronize in only one direction—like a one-way street for sound particles known as phonons. The breakthrough combines two quantum ... materials science
Administrator Brain scans reveal how ketamine quickly lifts severe depression A new brain-imaging study has revealed how ketamine produces its fast antidepressant effects in people with treatment-resistant depression. Researchers tracked changes in a critical brain receptor tha... devices medical
Administrator Scientists discover a strange property in rice and turn it into a smart material Scientists discovered that rice behaves in a highly unusual way: it weakens under rapid compression but stays stronger when pressure is applied slowly. Using this effect, they engineered a new materia... materials science
Administrator Scientists turn CO2 into fuel using breakthrough single-atom catalyst Researchers have created a cutting-edge catalyst that turns CO2 into methanol more efficiently than ever before. Instead of using clumps of metal atoms, they engineered a system where each single indi... chemistry science
