NEW YORK - Scientists have discovered a way to use single missing atoms in crystals as memory cells, packing terabytes of data into a millimeter-sized cube. By harnessing rare earth elements and light-based activation, they are creating a storage system unlike anything seen in classical computing. 1. Revolutionizing Storage: From Punch Cards to Atoms From
PITTSBURGH - Researchers have revolutionized cancer immunotherapy by developing a way to grow T cells in the lab that live longer and fight cancer more effectively. They identified flaws in traditional methods, where sugar-rich growth media caused T cells to depend on glucose and die quickly when reintroduced into the body. By supplementing the growth
SAN DIEGO, CA. - To harness the power of the sun and make sugars for energy storage, plants use photosynthesis. But some plants are more efficient at it than others. For the first time, researchers have identified a key step in the transformation between old-fashioned C3 photosynthesis and new and improved C4 photosynthesis — which
NEW YORK - Scientists have discovered a key protein that helps cancer cells avoid detection by the immune system during a type of advanced therapy. By creating a new drug that blocks this protein, researchers hope to make cancer treatments more effective, especially for hard-to-treat blood cancers. This breakthrough could lead to better survival rates
BOSTON - MIT engineers have developed a new system using a series of sun-driven reactors to produce carbon-free hydrogen fuel, significantly increasing efficiency from 7% to 40%. Their innovative train-like reactor design could make green hydrogen production scalable and economically feasible. MIT engineers aim to produce totally green, carbon-free hydrogen fuel with a new, train-like system
NEW YORK - The successful transfer of a gene that produces HMW-HA paves the way for improving the health and lifespan of humans, too. In a groundbreaking endeavor, scientists at the University of Rochester have successfully transferred a longevity gene from naked mole rats to mice, leading to enhanced health and a longer lifespan for the mice.
PALO ALTO, Ca. - research team at the Department of Energy’s SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory and Stanford University has finally revealed that fourth signature with precise, high-resolution measurements made with angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy, or ARPES, which uses light to eject electrons from the material. Measuring the energy and momentum of those ejected electrons reveals how the electrons inside the
LONDON, UK - Scientists in England have set a new record for the quantity of energy generated during a controlled, sustained fusion reaction. The creation of 59 megajoules of energy over five seconds at the Joint European Torus – or JET – experiment in England has been dubbed a “breakthrough” by certain media organizations and has sparked
