Italy is Developing Technology that Uses Plant Cells to 3D-Print Food

Biology, Cell Biology /

Italy is emerging as a leader in technological innovation through the development of 3D-printed food. At ENEA’s research laboratory in Oricola, scientists are converting plant cells and food waste into so-called “edible inks,” which are then used to produce nutrient-rich cereal bars, confectionery, and small honey spheres. Main features of the technology: Cell-Based Cultivation in […]

A Unique Form of Quantumness may be Key to Quantum Computers Success

Physics, Quantum Physics /

Google researchers used their Willow quantum computer to show that quantum contextuality may be essential to its computational power. What gives quantum computers their edge over classical machines? A new experiment suggests that “quantum contextuality” could be a crucial factor. How Qubits Redefine Computing Quantum computers differ fundamentally from conventional machines because they exploit uniquely

Dental Braces Have a More Modern History Than People Once Thought

Dentistry, Healthcare /

Ancient Egyptians and Etruscans are often credited with pioneering orthodontics, reportedly using fine gold wires and catgut to straighten teeth—a story that has long appeared in dental textbooks, suggesting our ancestors were surprisingly advanced in seeking the perfect smile. However, when archaeologists and dental historians examined the evidence closely, they found that much of this

Assessing the Feasibility of Asteroid Mining: Insights from a New Study

Astronomy, Astrophysics /

A few years back, asteroid mining was a hot topic. As the commercial space sector expanded rapidly, turning space into a commercial frontier seemed within reach. The idea of using spacecraft to rendezvous with and mine Near-Earth Asteroids (NEAs) and then transport them to space-based processing facilities was almost as ambitious as sending commercial crews

Searching for Dark Matter Axions Using a Quantum-Enhanced Haloscope

Physics, Quantum Physics /

Axions are theoretical lightweight particles that may address two major puzzles in physics: they could explain why certain nuclear interactions preserve time symmetry and may also make up dark matter. Dark matter itself does not emit, reflect, or absorb light and has yet to be directly detected. Axions are extremely light, hypothetical particles believed to

Scientists Develop the Inaugural Model of Artificial Brain Tissue

Applied Science, Neuroscience /

For the first time, scientists have successfully grown functional brain tissue in the lab without using any animal-derived materials or natural biological coatings. Unlike the well-known organoids—often called mini-brains—these structures are simplified organs created from living cells and designed to closely mimic the natural brain environment. The Challenge of Animal-Based Coatings in Neural Tissue Engineering

Scientists Develop a Shape-Shifting Material Activated by a String Pull

Applied Science, Robotics /

There’s a subtle boundary between mathematics and art—and it seems materials science and paper art share one as well. At first look, the flat, tiled grid created by MIT researchers appears unremarkable.A single pull of the string transforms the grid into its designed 3D form. Inspired by kirigami, the new material could serve in medical
