Key Points: Scientists discovered that salamanders, mice, and zebrafish share specific genes that control limb regeneration. More than 1 million limb amputations occur globally every year due to diseases and traumatic injuries. Researchers used CRISPR technology to delete the SP8...
Key Points: Researchers used artificial intelligence to map microscopic point defects inside ultra-thin 2D materials known as MXenes. The team successfully reconstructed 3D images from flat 2D electron microscope scans to locate missing atoms. Point defects are not always bad; they can actually strengthen materials or change how they react chemically. This breakthrough could improve future energy storage, water purification, and advanced electronics technology. Scientists...
Key Points: Monash University researchers proved that adding controlled disorder to tiny optical devices actually improves their overall performance. The team created a device that integrates 11 different optical functions into one single, ultra-thin surface. Traditional optical design relies on perfect order, but this new mosaic pattern frees up space for multiple functions. This breakthrough could lead to smaller, lighter equipment for medical diagnostics, telecommunications,...
