The Pterodynamics Transwing design presents a combination of compactness and stability in its VTOL and hover mode, while boasting an impressively wide wingspan during cruise mode, resulting in remarkable efficiency.A recently released video demonstrates the flight of an intriguing eVTOL aircraft design on a larger scale. The Transwing platform utilizes a distinctive wing system...
Recent research has demonstrated that the excessive utilization of antimicrobials in the rearing of livestock may lead to the evolution of bacteria that are more resilient to the initial defense of the human immune system.As the journalist has noted in the past, antibiotic resistance refers to the ability of specific subsets of microorganisms to...
The brain is a complex organ that controls thought, memory, emotion, touch, motor skills, vision, breathing, temperature, hunger and every process that regulates our body. Together, the brain and spinal cord that extends from it make up the central nervous system, or CNS. Credit:https: //www.hopkinsmedicine.org/The Brain has the ability that makes us read, play...
A light micrograph of a section through the thorax of a mouse embryo, which shows left–right asymmetry. RIKEN researchers have discovered how cilia detect fluid flow, which eventually leads to this asymmetry.

francescoch//Getty ImagesBiologist Cornelis Vlasman imagines the body as a functioning biological LEGO system. As well as, his clickable system of swapping human organs is coming to life … if you want to define life reasonably loosely. Moreover, you are willing to suspend reality for a bit.In a (fictional) experiment, Vlasman developed OSCAR, a living,...

UV-C Disinfecting Robots being used in a hospital/ Credit: ctvnews.caWith cleaning standards under heightened scrutiny, hospitals and healthcare facilities face increased pressure to maintain the highest level of cleanliness. In response to this challenge, Cameron Memorial Community Hospital in Angola, Indiana, recently made a heavy investment in the ultraviolet (UV-C) disinfecting robots. This action...
Graphical abstract. Credit: Biochemical and Biophysical Research Communications (2022). DOI: 10.1016/j.bbrc.2022.12.080A team of undergraduate and also graduate chemistry students in Jennifer Hines' laboratory at Ohio University recently uncovered a current class of compounds that can target RNA and disrupt its function. This discovery determined a chemical scaffold that might ultimately be utilized in the development of...
