Egyptian mummy remains from the Semmelweis Museum of Medical History were examined at Semmelweis University using a next-generation CT scanner equipped with a photon-counting detector. The scans produced an unprecedented level of detail, allowing researchers to study the internal structure of the remains and gain new insights into their preservation and possible health conditions.

High in the forests of Hawai‘i, songbirds are stealing twigs and moss from one another’s nests. UC Riverside researchers found this quiet canopy crime is surprisingly common and could threaten species already struggling to survive.

Engineers attempting to build microscopic robots face a strict physical trade-off: as mechanical devices shrink, their capacity to carry onboard power and navigate complex terrain rapidly diminishes. A new review in the International Journal of Extreme Manufacturing outlines the most promising approach isn't better hardware but "hiring" biology.

A fluoride-assisted strategy improves perovskite nanocrystals embedded in glass, enabling stable, high-efficiency full-spectrum emission, including record blue performance. The material supports tunable RGB output under a single excitation source. Integrated with holographic techniques and spatial light modulation, it achieves ultra-high pixel density (~20,000 PPI). A vertically stacked RGB design further enhances light utilization and resolution, offering a promising route toward energy-efficient, next-generation multicolor display technologies.

This first systematic review on Quality by Design (QbD) in nanocosmetics analyzed 52 original articles, identifying particle size (94.2%), polydispersity index (76.9%), and zeta potential (75%) as the most frequent Critical Quality Attributes. Surfactant concentration or type (46.1%) dominates Critical Material Attributes, while sonication time (15.4%) is the leading Critical Process Parameter. Design of Experiments is widely used, but advanced process controls such as Process Analytical Technology, continuous manufacturing, and real-time release testing remain underexplored. Systematic QbD application can bridge lab-to-industrial gaps, enabling safer and more effective nanocosmetic products.

The use of a quantum-inspired algorithm to calculate the unworkably vast potential properties of quantum materials is an early example of how quantum technology can be used to improve itself.

Recent advances in high-throughput proteomics enable the measurement of thousands of proteins simultaneously, offering unprecedented insight into human health and disease. A new review summarizes how proteomic technologies, combined with artificial intelligence, are transforming biomarker discovery, disease prediction, and drug development, highlighting their growing role in advancing precision medicine.
