New research has determined the spatial structure of various processes of a novel gene-editing tool called ‘prime editor.’ Functional analysis based on these structures also revealed how a ‘prime editor’ could achieve reverse transcription, synthesizing DNA from RNA, without ‘cutting’ both strands of the double helix. Clarifying these molecular mechanisms contributes greatly to designing gene-editing […]

The moon orbiting the asteroid Dinkinesh is actually two tiny moons stuck together. Collectively called ‘Selam,’ the two moonlets bring new insight into the complex processes behind planetary formation and evolution.

Advances in electrochromic coatings may bring us closer to environmentally friendly ways to keep inside spaces cool. Like eyeglasses that darken to provide sun protection, the optical properties of these transparent films can be tuned with electricity to block out solar heat and light. Now, researchers report demonstrating a new electrochromic film design based on

A team has analyzed the risk and damage potential of hydrogen vehicles in tunnels and derived recommendations. Their conclusion? Any damage would be extensive, but its occurrence is unlikely.

Optical analysis and machine learning techniques can now readily detect microplastics in marine and freshwater environments using inexpensive porous metal substrates.

A new study may help redefine how scientists map the surface of the Moon, making the process more streamlined and precise than ever before.

Researchers have shown that members of the public have little trouble in learning very quickly how to use a third thumb — a controllable, prosthetic extra thumb — to pick up and manipulate objects. The team tested the robotic device on a diverse range of participants, which they say is essential for ensuring new technologies

Researchers have developed a sustainable and controllable strategy to manipulate interfacial heat transfer, paving the way for improving the performance of eco-friendly cooling in various applications such as electronics, buildings and solar panels.

Team develops a high-energy, high-efficiency all-solid-state Na-air battery platform.

Researchers developed a computer vision framework for posture estimation and identity tracking which they can use in indoor environments as well as in the wild. They have thus taken an important step towards markerless tracking of animals in the wild using computer vision and machine learning.
