Indian Scientists Find Genetic Clues To Tackle Oral Cancer Among Women
A team of Indian scientists has discovered oral cancer-causing driver gene mutations in women patients in southern parts of the country.
-
Researchers Develop New Materials for Truly Stretchable OLED Screens
Researchers at the University of Chicago have created new materials that make OLED displays fully stretchable. Their key advance is an aluminium electrode embedded in a gallium–indium alloy, allowing it to “crackle” and self-heal under strain as liquid metal fills emerging gaps. Alongside this, a newly designed stretchy conductive polymer mai...

MIT’s CuRVE Technique Achieves Uniform Protein Labeling in Intact Tissues
A breakthrough in protein labeling has been introduced by MIT scientists, addressing challenges in studying intact tissues. Their method, CuRVE, allows antibodies to evenly distribute without damaging structure. The approach, combined with stochastic electrotransport, ensures rapid and uniform protein tagging. Tests on various tissues, including mo...

Scientists Make Mouse Skin Transparent Using Food Dye, Here's Everything You Need to Know
In a recent breakthrough, researchers led by Zihao Ou, Assistant Professor of Physics at the University of Texas at Dallas, have developed a technique to make mouse skin temporarily transparent using a common food dye called tartrazine. By applying a solution of the dye mixed with water, scientists could observe the internal organs and blood vessel...

MIT Engineers Create Miniature Zinc-Air Batteries for Cell-Sized Robots, Revolutionising Autonomous Technology
MIT engineers have made a significant breakthrough with the development of a tiny zinc-air microbattery, measuring just 0.1 millimetres in length and 0.002 millimetres thick, about the width of a human hair. This innovative battery captures oxygen from the air to oxidise zinc, generating a potential of up to 1 volt, which is sufficient to operate s...
