Scientists develop fire-resistant, fire-detecting wallpaper

Chinese scientists have developed a fire-resistant wallpaper that not only can withstand flames, but also detect fires and trigger an alarm if a fire occurs.

Scientists develop a two-step approach to starve lung tumor cells

American scientists developed a two-prolonged therapy with a combination of drugs that are already available clinically to starve the tumor cells to death.

Researchers develop nanoparticle films for high-density data storage

As we generate more and more data, the need for high-density data storage that remains stable over time is becoming critical.

Researchers develop a new class of two-dimensional materials

A research team led by the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) scientists and engineers has developed a method to make new kinds of artificial ‘superlattices’ — materials comprised of alternating layers of ultra-thin ‘two-dimensional’ sheets, which are only one or a few atoms thick.

Researchers develop ultrathin, highly elastic skin display

A new ultrathin elastic display that fits snugly on the skin can show the moving waveform of an electrocardiogram recorded by a breathable, on-skin electrode sensor.

Researchers develop a remote-controlled cancer immunotherapy system

A team of researchers has developed an ultrasound-based system that can non-invasively and remotely control genetic processes in live immune T cells so that they recognize and kill cancer cells.

Scientists develop possible recipe for first life on Earth

Scientists at the Scripps Research Institute (TSRI) have come up with a plausible recipe for how life began on early Earth.

At age six, children develop a sense of justice

Young children will pay to watch a puppet being beaten, but only six-year-olds pay more to watch punishment inflicted on a puppet that personally offended them, according to scientists trying to figure out when our sense of fairness first develops.
