Destroying cancer cells without affecting bordering normal cells is the most desirable method for targeted cancer treatment. However, it can not be easily accomplished because of the resemblances in the properties in between normal and cancer cells. So scientists at the IBS developed an innovative strategy called CINDELA (Cancer-specific INDEL Attacker). Which invades cancer-specific...
Credit: Scitech Daily Scientists analyzing one of the largest genomic datasets of plants. Have actually found how the first plants on Earth evolved the mechanisms used to control water and 'breathe' on land hundreds of millions of years ago.The research study by the University of Bristol and University of Essex. Published in New Phytologist, has...
Reprogramming robots With e-commerce orders pouring in, a warehouse robot chooses cups off a rack. As well as places them into boxes for shipping. Every little thing is humming along until the storehouse processes a modification. As well as the robot, has to now grasp taller, narrower cups that are kept upside-down. Reprogramming that robot involves...
New method boosts wind farms’ energy output, without new equipment. Credit: MIT. Humans must transition to more sustainable energy sources to slow down climate change and stop its unfavorable effects. Therefore, engineers worldwide have been dealing with various technologies that can transform natural resources, such as sunshine, wind, and water, into electrical energy. Renewable energy Wind turbines,...
Researchers have developed self-assembled, protein-based circuits that can do simple logic functions in proof-of-concept research. The work demonstrates that it is possible to develop stable digital circuits that benefit from an electron's properties at quantum scales. Molecular circuits One of the stumbling blocks in developing molecular circuits is that the circuits become unreliable as the circuit...
Scientists have been upgrading the Large Hadron Collider (pictured) for the past few years. On April 22, they successfully directed protons through the upgraded accelerator.

The Large...
Tropical Storm Ana dumped rainfall, intensified by climate change, across Malawi, Mozambique and Madagascar in late January. Here, people stand on a vehicle overturned by floodwaters in Chikwawa, Malawi, on January 25. Credit: Bloomberg. Climate change intensified the rainfalls that battered southeastern Africa. Subsequently two powerful storms killed hundreds of individuals in early 2022. Heavy rains...
Tasiilaq, Greenland. Credit: Courthouse News Service. Climate changes in the tropical Pacific have momentarily put the brakes on fast warming and ice melting in Greenland. Researchers at Hokkaido University in Japan have clarified a confusing, decade-long stagnation in summer warming across Greenland. Their observational analysis and computer simulations exposed that changes in sea surface temperature in the...

A brand-new research study shows that 40% of midwives in the US are burned out or stressed and exhausted, making them more prone to commit medical errors and missing necessary patient care. Burnout likewise hinders professional engagement, reduces productivity, leads to absenteeism and resignations, according to new research published in the leading journal,...
The anchor of Industry, a whaling ship that sank in 1836 in the Gulf of Mexico. Credit: NOAA Ocean Exploration Last month, scientists identified a 207-year-old shipwreck in the Gulf of Mexico as the Industry, a whaling ship that tipped over in a harsh 1836 storm. Researchers from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) made the thrilling...
