Innovators successfully maneuver robot through living lung tissue
From University of North Carolina Health Care 26/09/23 Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related deaths in the United States. Some tumors are extremely small and hide deep within lung tissue, making it difficult for surgeons to reach them. To address this challenge, UNC –Chapel Hill and Vanderbilt University researchers have been working on […]
Hitch a ride: Engineered viruses carry pesticide to crop roots, more eco-friendly
From University of California – San Diego 26/09/23 A new form of agricultural pest control could one day take root—one that treats crop infestations deep under the ground in a targeted manner with less pesticide. Engineers at the University of California San Diego have developed nanoparticles, fashioned from plant viruses, that can deliver pesticide molecules […]
Dinosaur feathers reveal stronger links with modern day birds
From University College Cork 26/09/23 Palaeontologists at University College Cork (UCC) in Ireland have discovered X-ray evidence of proteins in fossil feathers that sheds new light on feather evolution. Previous studies suggested that ancient feathers had a different composition to the feathers of birds today. The new research, however, reveals that the protein composition of […]

Stop ageing: Innovators extend life of worms using DNA therapy
From Eötvös Loránd University 26/09/23 Researchers Dr. Ádám Sturm and Dr. Tibor Vellai from Eötvös Loránd University, Hungary have made an exciting breakthrough in understanding how we age. They focused on “transposable elements” (TEs), which are parts of DNA that can move around in our genetic code. When these TEs move too much, they destabilize […]
Covering EVs in solar panels could reduce city charging needs by half
From Faculty of Sciences of the University of Lisbon 26/09/23 A new study, modeling the potential of solar-powered vehicles in the urban context in 100 cities across the world, shows that solar energy provides a range between 11 and 29 km per day, reducing charging needs by half. Despite the rapid adoption of electric vehicles, […]
Cuboidal tomatoes: Blocky and tasty fruits engineered for the robotic age
From Institute of Genetics and Developmental Biology 25/09/23 According to a study published in Nature Plants on Sept. 18, Chinese scientists have elucidated the mechanism of fruit shape formation in tomatoes and have developed fresh tomatoes for mechanical harvesting. In the early 1960s, the fs8.1 mutation caused a shape change in tomato fruit from round […]
