‘Heart-in-a-box’ better than cooler for heart transplants

The risk of early heart failure after heart transplantation is lower if the donor heart is stored in a so-called heart-in-a-box instead of in the usual cooler with ice. This…

Why do females switch to asexual reproduction?

The causes and consequences of reproduction without males in brown algae. Researchers at Max Planck Institute for Biology Tübingen and Kobe University discovered populations of female brown algae that reproduce…

Lotus-inspired tech to convert CO2 to fuels, chemicals

Nanoscience Associate Professor Yang Yang has designed a nature-inspired filtration and conversion system that extracts carbon dioxide gas from the atmosphere to create fuels and chemicals. In an effort to…

Laser deburring increases component quality

Burrs on cut and punched edges of sheet metal increase the risk of injury and can often damage cables and scratch surfaces. For this reason alone, it makes sense to…

AI can help rule out abnormal pathology on chest x-rays

A commercial artificial intelligence (AI) tool used off-label was effective at excluding pathology and had equal or lower rates of critical misses on chest X-ray than radiologists, according to a…

Planets contain more water than thought

We know that the Earth has an iron core surrounded by a mantle of silicate bedrock and water (oceans) on its surface. Science has used this simple planet model until…
