Key Points: Researchers successfully generated milliwatt-level ultraviolet light directly on a tiny photonic chip. The team used a clever process to combine two red photons into one single UV photon. The researchers built a complex nanoscale waveguide using thin-film lithium niobate. This breakthrough paves the way for smaller, cheaper quantum computers and optical atomic clocks. Researchers from the University of Twente and Harvard University have...
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 gene, demonstrating that it is essential for bone regrowth. A new experimental viral gene therapy partially restored the regenerative effects in mice missing the crucial...
