This novel device can wrap around hot surfaces and convert wasted heat to electricity. Tests revealed that it can maintain a 115 per cent power density advantage and produced 56.6 watts of total...
By measuring population ageing rates, DunedinPACE can predict future disease and mortality and improve our understanding of factors that drive accelerated ageing in at-risk populations. As the...
Left ventricular assist devices can trigger metabolic reactivation in myocardial areas with little to no activity, sparking hope for the development of regenerative heart therapies that could...
Blinding macrophages to octanal subsided inflammation and reversed disease progression in mice, opening up the possibility of blocking olfactory receptors of macrophages to treat atherosclerosis in...
These solar cells, composed of perovskite and organic materials, can achieve a power conversion efficiency of 23.6 per cent, potentially applicable for powering blinds, boats, and vehicles. With the...
Low-cost and high-performing calcium batteries will help streamline the transition from traditional gas cars to more environmentally-friendly electric cars. Across the globe, governments and...
Found in mussels’ adhesive protein, this biocompatible compound could be used as a dental adhesive to strengthen the bond between tooth tissues and the resin used for dental filling. Dental...
Researchers have identified six derivatives of Neoechinulin B that show strong anti-hepatitis C virus and anti-SARS-CoV-2 activities. Known to cause liver inflammation, the hepatitis C virus is a...
A specific neuronal stimulation paradigm has successfully converted a rat’s brain to a seizure-resistant state, opening up the possibility of cultivating epilepsy resistance in humans. Plaguing...
This “microrobot” can assume different shapes and change stiffness, potentially applicable for bone repair and bone tissue engineering. Inspired by the dynamic way in which bones grow in the...
This industrial material, widely used in paper products and plastic containers to replace BPA, has been linked with the growth and deterioration of breast tumours in mice. Since the 1950s, the...
Using a combinatorial CRISPR-Cas9 screening platform, researchers have demonstrated how this novel two-drug regime can be used in combination with sorafenib to curb tumour cell growth. Accounting for...
