Exponetially self-replicating DNA nanobots are now a thing
A team of researchers from New York University have developed DNA-based nanobots that could, in theory, replicate themselves exponentially. Developed by Feng Zhou and his team, the tiny DNA bots consist of only four DNA strands and can copy themselves one at a time using their structure as a template. These DNA nanobots could open…

Foam formation during drainage of a surfactant solution in a microfluidic porous medium model
The dynamics of foam formation in the pore space of a microfluidic porous medium model during the displacement of surfactant solution by injected gas (air) at a fixed volumetric flow rate was analyzed. The evolution of the foam structure and the inverse of gas mobility (apparent gas viscosity) were evaluated as a function of the…

Hybrid device significantly improves existing, ubiquitous laser technology
EPFL researchers have developed a hybrid device that significantly improves existing, ubiquitous laser technology. The team at EPFL’s Photonic Systems Laboratory (PHOSL) has developed a chip-scale laser source that enhances the performance of semiconductor lasers while enabling the generation of shorter wavelengths. This pioneering work, led by Professor Camille Brès and postdoctoral researcher Marco Clementi…

North Atlantic Ocean near Bermuda lost 6% oxygen in 40 years
For a long time, scientists have been asserting the influence of human actions on the significant changes observed within the Earth’s climate system. Recently, a new study uncovered that the ocean’s physical and biogeochemical conditions are rapidly changing over time. The changes observed include “continuing trends of surface warming, increase in salinity, loss of dissolved…
