Direct-type perovskite detectors have surpassed commercial alternatives in sensitivity and detection limits, but scaling up for large-area flat-panel X-ray imaging remains a challenge. The review discusses scalable material fabrication, backplane integration, and imaging performance optimization to enable widespread adoption of high-qu...
A KAIST research team has developed a technology that controls the chemical environment around catalysts at the nanometer scale by designing DNA sequences. This allows for improved hydrogen production efficiency and increased yield of desired chemical products. The DNA layer acts like a traffic control center, guiding the movement of i...
A novel silylium Lewis acid organocatalysis technology was developed, allowing for the direct installation of sulfonamide groups into ketone compounds. The catalyst enables precise control over reaction rate and substrate activation, achieving high yields in a sustainable process.
Researchers found that zirconia implants trigger an immune-inflammatory niche marked by macrophage involvement and COL6A2/CD44 signaling. In contrast, titanium implants support a regenerative microenvironment with collagenase-1/stromal-derived cell differentiation 1 (SDC1) signaling.
Researchers found that ancient hominins selected specific basalt sources for tool production, demonstrating advanced planning abilities and long-term technological traditions. This discovery highlights the ability of Acheulian hominins to plan, select, and exploit geological resources within a changing landscape.
A three-year study reveals coral hormone cycles similar to humans', helping detect reproductive stress and informing reef conservation. Hormone levels were found to be influenced by sunlight, not heat, and distributed evenly throughout colonies.
Researchers discovered that Cyanobacteria survive extreme heat through dark respiration compensating for impaired photosynthetic electron transport. A heat-tolerant strain increased respiratory activity to support energy needs when photosynthesis is weakened.
A CDC study found that most NDM-CRE cases were caused by a few high-risk strains, primarily from Klebsiella pneumoniae and Escherichia coli. The discovery of new high-risk clones highlights the importance of genomic surveillance to catch emerging threats early.
Kirigami researchers create twisty structures for flexible robotic components and soft actuators, exploiting geometrical design to enable rotation under stretching. The unique mechanical properties of these kirigami materials offer new potential applications in robotics and engineering.
A study of over 229,000 obese adults without diabetes found that weight loss drugs, such as semaglutide and tirzepatide, were associated with a 41% decrease in the overall risk of developing obesity-related cancers. GLP-1 RAs also showed larger reductions in certain subgroups, including men and gynaecologic cancers.
A new automatic detection algorithm uses AI to spot commonly-smuggled sea creatures like shark fins, seahorses, and sea cucumbers with 92% accuracy. The system integrates into 3D scanners to help identify potential shipments for investigation.
A study found that adding orfglipron to titrated insulin glargine significantly improved glycemic control and body weight in participants with type 2 diabetes. The treatment did not increase the risk of hypoglycemia, compared to placebo.
Researchers developed SpiderCam, a highly energy-efficient 3D camera inspired by jumping spiders. It captures two images with different focus settings and analyzes the differences in sharpness to produce real-time 3D maps while consuming less than a watt of power.
Mazdutide, a GLP-1 receptor dual agonist, provides clinically meaningful weight reduction in Chinese adults with obesity. However, gastrointestinal adverse reactions are more common among those taking the drug compared to placebo.
Aldebaran, a red wine made from Muscat Bailey A grapes, won a Gold Award in the Muscat Bailey A category, while Junmai -eme- received the Platinum Award in the Junmai Sake category at the French Japanese Sake Competition for the second consecutive year
