Researchers at the University of Oxford and the University of Michigan have developed a new type of microrobot that can deliver therapeutics with precision and navigate complex biological terrains. The microrobots, called permanent magnetic droplet-derived microrobots (PMDMs), are made from a biocompatible hydrogel and can be tailored to each clinical scenario. They can carry drugs…
MEXC, a leading global cryptocurrency exchange, has released a new report highlighting a dramatic generational shift in crypto trading patterns. The report reveals that two-thirds of Gen Z users (aged 18-27) rely on or are willing to adopt AI-powered tools as part of their trading strategies. This trend is expected to intensify in the coming…
A devastating wave of floods has swept across the United States, causing widespread destruction and loss of life. The extreme rainfall events are linked to climate change, with rising temperatures leading to increased water vapor in the atmosphere. Oceanographer Joellen Russell explains that the warming ocean is also a key factor, contributing to the flooding…
Rune Technologies, a startup founded by veterans, has raised $24 million in a Series A round to develop AI-enabled software for military logistics. The company’s flagship product, TyrOS, aims to transform manual logistics processes into intelligent supply webs that predict future needs and optimize current resources. With its edge-first architecture and deep learning models, TyrOS…
Researchers in Japan have successfully visualized the formation and evolution of quasiparticles known as excitons in carbon nanotubes for the first time. This breakthrough could aid the development of nanotube-based nanoelectronic and nanophotonic devices. The team used a technique called ultrafast infrared scattering-type scanning near-field optical microscopy (IR s-SNOM) to image excitons in carbon nanotubes,…
Three biotech companies, Actio Biosciences, AIRNA Therapeutics, and Alesta Therapeutics, have recently raised significant funding to advance treatments for genetic diseases. Actio Biosciences is developing treatments for rare neurological conditions, while AIRNA Therapeutics is working on a “RNA cure” for alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency. Alesta Therapeutics is focusing on orally available small-molecule therapies for genetic disorders….
Researchers have successfully used an artificial intelligence system called Aeneas to analyze the Res Gestae Divi Augusti, a famous Latin inscription. The AI system identified subtle language parallels with Roman legal documents and reflected “imperial political discourse,” an insight not previously noted by human historians. This breakthrough has the potential to transform the way historians…
A newly discovered security bug in Microsoft’s SharePoint has left thousands of small to medium-sized businesses vulnerable to cyberattacks. The bug, known as CVE-2025-53770, allows hackers to steal private digital keys from SharePoint servers without needing any credentials to log in. Microsoft has not yet provided patches for all affected SharePoint versions, leaving customers exposed…
Researchers at the University of Sydney have made a significant breakthrough in quantum computing by developing a CMOS chip that can control the operation of multiple spin qubits at ultralow temperatures. This achievement is a crucial step towards creating a scalable platform for quantum computing, which could potentially revolutionize the field of computing and beyond….
