Creators envision ‘gelbots’ crawling through human bodies to deliver medicine. A new gelatinous robot that crawls, powered by nothing more than temperature change and clever design, brings “a kind of…

Shedding light on photosynthesis at sea

Osaka Metropolitan University scientists use cryogenic electron microscopy to investigate how the marine green macroalga Codium fragile photosynthesizes. Plants that live on land, such as spinach, grow by using sunlight…

How the ‘hell planet’ got so hot

New ultra-precise measurements reveal the orbital path of planet 55 Cnc e (nicknamed “Janssen”), a scorchingly hot super-Earth closely circling a distant star. New research sheds light on how the…
