3D in vivo OCM of juvenile Spongilla. Credit: Current Biology (2024). DOI: 10.1016/j.cub.2023.12.021 Did you know that sponges can move? While not exactly the champions of underwater acrobatics, ...
How does your phone track its position in space? MEMS devices! Phones use small micro mechanical chips called MEMS, to monitor accelerations and rotations. These are fabricated using semiconductor ...
Researchers created a system that enables makers to incorporate sensors directly into rotational mechanisms with only one pass in a 3D printer. This gives rotational mechanisms like gearboxes the ...
During carcinogenesis, the HPV genome integrates into the host genome, often disrupting the E2 gene, which normally suppresses E6 and E7 expression. HPV integration can occur randomly in the host ...
An international collaboration elucidates the mechanisms that facilitate accurate identification of moving images. The findings have been published in Nature Communications Imagine meeting a friend on ...
Integrating sensors into rotational mechanisms could make it possible for engineers to build smart hinges that know when a door has been opened, or gears inside a motor that tell a mechanic how fast ...
