Engineered bacteria paint targets on tumors for cancer-killing T cells to see
From Columbia University School of Engineering and Applied Science 03/11/23 For several years, researchers have been successfully using chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cells to target specific antigens found on blood cells as a cure for patients with leukemia and lymphoma. But solid tumors, like breast and colon cancers, have proven to be more difficult […]
Honey bees may inherit altruistic behavior from their mothers
From Penn State 03/11/23 True altruism is rare behavior in animals, but a new study by Penn State researchers has found that honey bees display this trait. Additionally, they found that an evolutionary battle of genetics may determine the parent they inherit it from. For the study, published in the journal Molecular Ecology, the researchers […]
Unlocking the secrets of cold tolerance: a deep dive into tomato plants’ molecular responses to chilling stress
From Nanjing Agricultural University The Academy of Science 04/11/23 Cold sensitivity poses a significant challenge for certain essential crops. While there’s an indication that these plants may possess cold acclimation capabilities, the molecular dynamics, particularly involving the CRT binding factor (CBF) family, are not fully explored. One primary concern has been the disparity in cold […]
Enlightening insects: Morpho butterfly nanostructure inspires technology for bright, balanced lighting
From Osaka University 01/11/23 As you watch Morpho butterflies wobble in flight, shimmering in vivid blue color, you’re witnessing an uncommon form of structural color that researchers are only beginning to use in lighting technologies such as optical diffusers. Furthermore, imparting a self-cleaning capability to such diffusers would minimize soiling and staining and maximize practical […]

Innovators develop technology to tabulate and characterize every cell in the human brain
From Massachusetts General Hospital 03/11/23 The brain is made up of numerous types of cells that are organized into different structures and regions. Although several important steps have been made towards building models of the human brain, the advances have not produced undistorted 3D images of cellular architecture that are needed to build accurate and […]
New technology for customized air purification of toxic gases
From National Research Council of Science & Technology 03/11/23 Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in daily products such as paints, adhesives, furniture, cosmetics, and deodorants make our lives easier. However, constant exposure can cause serious health problems such as respiratory illness, headaches, dermatitis, and cancer. Natural ventilation is the most effective way to reduce VOCs in […]

Self-correcting quantum computers within reach?
From Harvard University 02/11/23 Quantum computers promise to reach speeds and efficiencies impossible for even the fastest supercomputers of today. Yet the technology hasn’t seen much scale-up and commercialization largely due to its inability to self-correct. Quantum computers, unlike classical ones, cannot correct errors by copying encoded data over and over. Scientists had to find […]
