1+ hour, 54+ min ago (864+ words) MIT researchers have developed a new fabrication method that could enable the production of more energy efficient electronics by stacking multiple functional components on top of one existing circuit. In traditional circuits, logic devices that perform computation, like transistors, and memory devices that store data are built as separate components, forcing data to travel back and forth between them, which wastes energy. This new electronics integration platform allows scientists to fabricate transistors and memory devices in one compact stack on a semiconductor chip. This eliminates much of that wasted energy while boosting the speed of computation. Key to this advance is a newly developed material with unique properties and a more precise fabrication approach that reduces the number of defects in the material. This allows the researchers to make extremely tiny transistors with built-in memory that can perform faster than…...

Colibactin, synthesized by bacteria harboring the polyketide synthase (pks) genomic island, has been strongly associated with DNA damage and colorectal tumorigenesis in humans. Despite its critical role in promoting colorectal cancer, there has been no targeted therapeutic strategy approved by the Food and Drug Administration to mitigate colibactin's deleterious effects'until now. The…...

3+ hour, 27+ min ago (228+ words) When biologists use principles of engineering to study living systems, they can gain a richer, deeper understanding of how and why life works. Source Recurring Engineering Logic and Common Design Patterns In this episode, Dr. Jonathan McLatchie explains that researchers find recurring engineering logic and common design patterns " such as four-bar linkage systems in anatomy and two-component systems in bacteria " in different, often genetically unrelated, organisms, suggesting these systems share a common intelligent source. Emily Reeves then shares the example of glucose transporters, which function similarly to engine throttle valves and demonstrate that biological systems share high-level design concepts with human engineering but are also optimized differently based on specific constraints. Like any scientific theory of origins, intelligent design will rise or fall on the strength of the scientific evidence. So ID scientists are laser-focused on research projects that they…...

This innovative approach offers a pathway towards greener technology, illustrating the potential of using agricultural waste to synthesize valuable materials. The study, led by Dhivya, N., Maadeswaran, P., and Balaji, [] At the core of this research is the utilization of citrus peel, which is often discarded and considered waste. The extraction process involves the use of natural plant extracts, which are known for their reducing properties, to facilitate the synthesis of the nanocomposites. The researchers have ingeniously harnessed the bioactive compounds present in citrus peel, such as flavonoids and ascorbic acid, to promote the formation of the Ag3PO4/Ag/TiO2 system.

4+ hour, 49+ min ago (775+ words) Newswise " Florida State University researchers have created a new crystalline material with unusual magnetic patterns that could be used for breakthroughs in data storage and quantum technologies. In a study published in the Journal of the American Chemical Society, the research team showed that when two materials with neighboring chemical compositions but different structure types are combined, they can form a new material that exhibits a third structure type with highly unusual magnetic properties. The FSU research team showed that their approach can be used to generate much more complex patterns of spins. These patterns are important because they determine a material's overall magnetic properties. In contrast to the traditional magnets, the spins in this new material form repeating swirls, also known as spin textures. The researchers combined two chemically similar compounds with different symmetries in their crystal structures. This…...
