Imagine you need a super-strong, lightweight groove structure for an industry application. Sounds easy, right? Well, not quite. Traditional methods make this task pretty tricky. This is where a creative mix of 3D printing and filament winding comes into play. We're talking about a groove structure
Scientists recently found that DNA ligase 4 (Lig4) plays a crucial role in fixing broken DNA, even if it can't directly stick the pieces back together. They created mice with a mutation in Lig4, making it inactive. Surprisingly, these mice were born alive, but they weren't growing properly and had t
Scientists have been trying to find the best way to make ZIF-8 membranes strong enough for industrial use. These membranes are really good at separating two important gases, C3H6 and C3H8. A recent study found that using supercritical ethane, scC2H6, to make these membranes might be the answer. Supe
Imagine you're in a spaceship far from Earth, and something goes wrong. Back in 1970, NASA folk had to fix a problem on the Apollo 13 journey using only what they had onboard. They couldn't just pop over to the store for spare parts! So, they used something called a "digital twin" for help. It's lik
Imagine a time when the central North Sea was covered in ice. A new study using 3D seismic data has revealed that this cold event happened just once during the Early Pleistocene. This was a big deal, as ice sheets stretched all the way from western Norway, covering over 10, 000 square kilometers in
There's an interesting team-up happening in the world of science. Researchers found that sericin and hydroxychloroquine (HQ) can work together to reduce lung damage and even prevent early stages of lung cancer in mice. This duo targets a specific pathway in the body called PI3K/Akt/Nrf2/NF-κB. By ta
Breast cancer comes in many forms, and one of the toughest types is Triple-Negative Breast Cancer (TNBC). This type of cancer doesn't have the usual targets that treatments often go for, making it tricky to treat. Scientists have been trying something clever though. They've been using a method calle
China Airlines has exciting news for its future passengers! The airline plans to revamp its entire fleet of Airbus A350-900 planes. Starting in 2027, the first upgraded A350 will take to the skies, featuring new business suites with privacy doors, along with enhanced inflight entertainment (IFE) and
Are you looking for some quick entertainment without the long-term commitment? Netflix has a bunch of 30-minute shows that pack a punch. You can't go wrong with classics like 'Seinfeld' and 'How I Met Your Mother'. But if you're in the mood for something different, check out 'Loudermilk', which foll
Imagine you're driving a self-driving car on a busy street. It's great at spotting familiar objects like cars and pedestrians, but what about those weird things that don't fit the usual categories? That's where UFOs—Unidentified Foreground Objects—come into play. Detecting these oddities in 3D point
