Critical Enzyme For Breaking Down Fat Byproducts Slows The Aging Process

Posted by in categories: biotech/medical, life extension

The journey of aging brings with it an unavoidable reality for many: an increased accumulation of body fat.

Though much of society seems mostly focused on the aesthetics of being overweight, doctors look past any cosmetic concerns to focus on the health implications of fat byproducts in the body.

Stanford’s Revolutionary Universal Memory: The Dawn of a Fast, Ultra-Efficient Memory Matrix

Posted by in categories: biotech/medical, robotics/AI

Stanford researchers have developed a new phase-change memory that could help computers process large amounts of data faster and more efficiently.

We are tasking our computers with processing ever-increasing amounts of data to speed up drug discovery, improve weather and climate predictions, train artificial intelligence, and much more. To keep up with this demand, we need faster, more energy-efficient computer memory than ever before.

Innovations in Memory Technology.

Biohybrid robot makes sharp rotations with lab-grown muscles

Posted by in categories: biological, robotics/AI

Compared to robots, human bodies are flexible, capable of fine movements, and can convert energy efficiently into movement. Drawing inspiration from human gait, researchers from Japan crafted a two-legged biohybrid robot by combining muscle tissues and artificial materials. Publishing on January 26 in the journal Matter, this method allows the robot to walk and pivot.

Research on biohybrid robots, which are a fusion of biology and mechanics, is recently attracting attention as a new field of robotics featuring biological function. Using muscle as actuators allows us to build a compact robot and achieve efficient, silent movements with a soft touch.

Deep Robotics plan bots for the dark — and a giant one to help at home

Posted by in categories: entertainment, robotics/AI

“You want the robot to help others, not others, help the robot,” emphasized Peter Dend, product manager at DEEP Robotics, who dived into the future of Quadruped Robotics during a webinar conducted by Interesting Engineering.

In IE’s first webinar of 2024, a DEEP Robotics representative unveiled a series of robot models employed for various tasks in real time, such as the Robot-Group-Control Dance Show at the 19th Hangzhou Asian Games.

Quantum Breakthrough: Unveiling the Mysteries of Electron Tunneling

Posted by in categories: biological, chemistry, computing, quantum physics

Tunneling is a fundamental process in quantum mechanics, involving the ability of a wave packet to cross an energy barrier that would be impossible to overcome by classical means. At the atomic level, this tunneling phenomenon significantly influences molecular biology. It aids in speeding up enzyme reactions, causes spontaneous DNA mutations, and initiates the sequences of events that lead to the sense of smell.

Photoelectron tunneling is a key process in light-induced chemical reactions, charge and energy transfer, and radiation emission. The size of optoelectronic chips and other devices has been close to the sub-nanometer atomic scale, and the quantum tunneling effects between different channels would be significantly enhanced.

Augmenting insect olfaction performance through nano-neuromodulation

Posted by in categories: biotech/medical, chemistry, nanotechnology

Insects have been shown to have the ability to detect different chemical agents. Here, the authors present a nanomaterial-assisted neuromodulation strategy to augment the chemosensory abilities of insects via photothermal effect and on-demand neurotransmitter release from cargo-loaded nanovehicles to augment natural sensory function.
