Robotic Bird Addresses the Biggest Aerodynamic Weakness of Drones
A robotic bird tested in a wind tunnel could pave the way for drones capable of flying reliably in strong winds. Scientists from RMIT University in Australia and the University of Bristol in the UK recreated the Australian kestrel (Falco cenchroides) to uncover the secrets behind its remarkable ability to hover steadily in turbulent conditions—insights…

Tiny magnetic waves may make it possible to build quantum computers as small as a penny
Physicists have extended the lifespan of magnons—tiny magnetic waves that can carry quantum information—from a few hundred nanoseconds to 18 microseconds, nearly a 100-fold improvement over previous records. This achievement could pave the way for highly compact quantum computers, potentially no larger than a 1-cent coin. Led by Andrii Chumak at the University of Vienna,…

Scientists developed a human protein-based drug for metastatic prostate cancer
A new cancer drug could help block both tumor growth and the spread of aggressive prostate cancer, according to a study by researchers at Umeå University and international collaborators, published in the journal Signal Transduction and Targeted Therapy. Researchers developed the new drug to stop cancer from spreading. According to Maréne Landström, who led the…
