Have you ever noticed how batteries in phones or laptops can get damaged if you bend them too much? Well, scientists are working on a solution to make lithium batteries more flexible and durable. One way they are doing this is by using a mix of something called MXene and natural rubber to create a c
Prostate cancer (PCa) often becomes resistant to treatment, making it hard to cure. This type of cancer is linked to unusual lipid metabolism, which makes it tough to treat. Scientists have come up with a clever way to tackle this problem. They designed a tiny nanomachine called HA@CD36i-TR@siSCD1.
Brain tumors, especially those that metastasize or develop as glioblastomas, are some of the most dangerous and fast-growing cancers. Patients usually don't live more than a year after diagnosis. One big issue is getting medicine to the brain. The blood-brain barrier, which protects the brain from h
Tottenham Hotspur are aiming for a transfer coup with a €45 million (£37. 3 million) bid for Facundo Buonanotte, who's currently on loan at Leicester City from Brighton & Hove Albion. The 20-year-old Argentine has been impressing at the King Power Stadium, scoring four goals and providing two assist
It's finally happening: robots that look and move like us are becoming a norm. In 2025, expect to see more robots that can perform superhuman feats. For instance, Boston Dynamics' new Atlas robot has swapped its hydraulics for electricity, making it even more agile. But it's not just about the big g
Cancer treatment has seen some amazing changes lately, with scientists focusing on targeted drug delivery. One interesting way to do this is by using something called anionic polysaccharides. These are like superheroes in the world of medicine because they have cool properties like being non-toxic,
Rheumatoid arthritis is a tough disease that affects many joints and needs lifelong care. Scientists have been working on a new way to fight this condition using tiny particles called Esculin-loaded chitosan nanoparticles (ENPs). These magic bullets were made using a process called ion gelation and
Facemasks have been a hot topic since the pandemic. While traditional masks use single-use polypropylene material, they aren't great for the environment or sterilization. Enter nano- and microfibrous filters. These filters can be reused and sterilized without losing their effectiveness. Let's dig in
Cancer has this unique friend called telomerase, which is pretty active in cancer cells. Telomerase is like a tiny machine with a reverse transcriptase and something called human telomerase RNA (hTR). We usually spot telomerase by its activity in tissues or single cells, but that's not the whole sto
A key challenge in aqueous zinc batteries is the short lifespan of the zinc anode. Scientists have discovered that manipulating the environment around the anode can significantly enhance its durability. By using an organic compound called caprolactam, they created a local high-supersaturation enviro
