A 3D printing platform developed at MIT can utilize multiple functional materials to fully print a complex electronic device, like an electric linear motor, in a matter of minutes.
A new forecasting system developed in collaboration between the University of Helsinki and CMCC delivers detailed 15-day Mediterranean Sea predictions in just 20 seconds. By combining machine learning, ocean physics, and atmospheric data, SeaCast is faster than traditional numerical forecasts and more accurate than traditional physical models, achieving high-resolution predictions that represent a big advancement in marine forecasting. Published in Nature – Scientific Reports, this research opens new horizons for understanding, preparing for, and responding to the challenges and opportunities of the Mediterranean region.
A new artificial intelligence-based approach can detect fatty deposits inside coronary arteries using optical coherence tomography (OCT) images.
UCLA researchers have demonstrated that lipid nanoparticles can package and deliver an entire therapeutic gene along with gene-editing machinery — a combination of large, complex components that non-viral carriers haven’t been able to handle before.
Using this delivery platform in a cell culture model of cystic fibrosis, researchers found that although only 3–4% of cells received the corrected gene, the treated cell populations restored 88–100% of normal function.
Replacing the entire faulty gene rather than correcting individual mutations may allow the therapy to work across all patients with cystic fibrosis.
