• Scientists track 'doubling' in origin of cancer cells May 2, 2024
  Working with human breast and lung cells, scientists say they have charted a molecular pathway that can lure cells down a hazardous path of duplicating their genome too many times, a hallmark of cancer cells.
• Sugar-based catalyst upcycles carbon dioxide May 2, 2024
  New catalyst is made from an inexpensive, abundant metal and table sugar. Catalyst converts carbon dioxide (CO2) into carbon monoxide, a building block for producing a variety of useful chemicals including syngas. With recent advances in carbon capture technologies, post-combustion carbon capture is becoming a plausible option to help tackle the global climate change crisis. […]
• Random robots are more reliable May 2, 2024
  New algorithm encourages robots to move more randomly to collect more diverse data for learning. In tests, robots started with no knowledge and then learned and correctly performed tasks within a single attempt. New model could improve safety and practicality of self-driving cars, delivery drones and more.
• Significant new discovery in teleportation research -- Noise can improve the quality of quantum teleportation May 2, 2024
  Researchers succeeded in conducting an almost perfect quantum teleportation despite the presence of noise that usually disrupts the transfer of quantum state.
• Wild orangutan treats wound with pain-relieving plant May 2, 2024
  A wild orangutan was observed applying a plant with known medicinal properties to a wound, a first for a wild animal.
