Maybe life on Earth is as good as it gets?
Plate tectonics are important for habitability, and it appears that the optimum conditions existed for planets forming early in the galaxy’s lifespan … and may be unlikely to easily recur.
What ever happened to combinatorial materials discovery?
Taking a look at the past, present, and future of combinatorial chemistry in materials research.
Improving treatment of Parkinson’s with better brain maps
Advanced MRI scans may improve treatment of tremors in patients with Parkinson’s disease.
Millibots act as artificial insects
Millimeter-scale robots were shown to mimic the movement and behavior of living insects for advanced materials science, biological, and biomedical applications.
Machine learning provides new design possibility for 3D-printable robots
An automatic design approach with a new 3D-printing method is established to fabricate soft composites that can change to predetermined shapes and generate controllable robotic motions under a magnetic field.
Shedding light on inflammation
Cutting-edge fluorine-19 imaging of inflammation extends the frontiers of MRI.
Controlling artificial cilia with magnets and light
