A team led by Junichi Shiogai successfully observes the superconducting diode effect in an Fe(Se,Te)/FeTe heterostructure, exhibiting rectification under various temperature and magnetic fields. This breakthrough paves the way for ultra-low energy electronics built from superconductors.
Researchers developed t-SPESI technology to visualize cell parts and analyze lipid distributions in complex biological samples. This enables the detection of abnormal lipids linked to disease, advancing therapies and diagnostic techniques.
Researchers created a new type of insect cyborg that can navigate autonomously using UV light to guide movement, preserving sensory organs and maintaining consistent control. The system outperformed traditional methods in tests, with 94% of cyborg insects escaping a maze-like environment compared to just 24% of normal cockroaches.
Researchers have identified conditions under which ultra-high dose rate carbon ion beams can spare normal cells while maintaining tumor control, opening new possibilities for safer radiotherapy. The study reveals a cell-sparing effect under normoxic conditions using higher linear energy transfer values.
Researchers from The University of Osaka developed a new technique using mass photometry to detect and quantify components of rAAV particles. This method can distinguish between full and empty particles, streamlining gene therapy manufacturing and improving clinical effectiveness.
