Researchers plan to finish the first prototype of the artificial womb for human babies in 5 years. The team received a €2.9 million grant from the EU program Horizon 2020 for this project. If successful, artificial wombs could save the lives of...
In a new observational study, researchers found up to 33% lower risks of early death for heart attack survivors who owned a dog. In fact, dog owners experienced a 24% reduced risk of all-cause mortality and a 65% reduced risk of mortality after a...
Flightlessness is an evolutionary trait in which birds lose their ability to fly. The most well known flightless birds are penguins and ratites; a diverse group of birds with relatively large bodies and long-legs, including emu, rheas, and ostriches...
Scientists find a way to starve cancer cells of their favorite foods. A molecule named Glutor can effectively inhibit 44 different cancer cell lines without affecting non-cancerous cell lines. Cells consume nutrients from their surroundings to...
New Deep Neural Network makes it easier for vehicles to see at night while ensuring other drivers won’t be blinded by the headlight. It dims individual high beam LEDs, creating glare-free zones as required by traffic patterns. Although high...
Can we measure a quantum system without altering it? Researchers found that it’s possible to determine the state of a quantum system by reading its data away from the system itself. In 1935, an Austrian physicist Erwin Schrödinger came up...
Computers perform an extremely wide range of tasks by following generalized sets of operations, called programs. They are used as control systems for various consumers and industrial devices, including smartphones and factory devices such as...
Astronomers discover a massive planet orbiting a small star. The mass of the planet is way more than what current theoretical models predict. It lies 30 light-years away from Earth and has a mass nearly half as big as Jupiter. Like our solar...
The new engineered graphene form can revolutionize space telescope technology. It could enable accurate imaging of large regions of nearby galaxies and star-forming clouds, in shorter times. Compared to conventional superconductors used in...
Researchers test the quantum superposition principle at a massive scale like never before. They illustrated the delocalization of the massive molecules containing 40,000 neutrons, electrons, and protons. Up to 2,000 atoms remained in two places at...
New lithium-carbon dioxide batteries can be fully charged/recharged up to 500 consecutive charge/discharge cycles. The battery is made by integrating a unique combination of materials. Lithium-ion batteries are used in almost all consumer...
The new simulation shows how gravity distorts light around the black hole. This is the most accurate computer-generation visualization of a black hole to date. It clearly shows all crucial components of a black hole, including accretion disk and...
