Cracking-Assisted Transfer Printing Enables High-Resolution Quantum Dot LED Displays
A new advance in quantum-dot (QD) display manufacturing could help push next-generation full-colour electroluminescence (EL) screens toward larger sizes and higher resolution—without relying on toxic...
Synthetic nanoassemblies restore disrupted intracellular homeostasis
Engineered E. coli cells can now “self-clear” synthetic nanoassemblies by switching on an internal redox repair program, according to a report published in Nature Chemical...
Study Finds Some Medical Spas Sell Compounded Weight-Loss Drugs Despite Regulatory Worries
GLP-1 drugs like semaglutide and tirzepatide may no longer face the same federal shortages that reshaped the market in recent years, but a new investigation...
Rethinking Cardiometabolic Treatment Thresholds for People Living With Obesity
The American Heart Association, the American College of Cardiology, and the European Society of Cardiology now recognize obesity as a chronic disease—yet their cardiovascular prevention...
Insilico Medicine Execs at CPIC Discuss AI Drug Discovery’s Tech and Clinical Breakthroughs
Insilico Medicine founders Dr. Alex Zhavoronkov and Dr. Feng Ren have been invited to the inaugural China Pioneer Innovative Drug Global Congress (CPIC 2026) in...
Helical Flow Enables Opto-Thermoviscous Microrotation for Multiview 3D Microscopy
Micromanipulating tiny objects in 3D—especially in highly viscous environments—has long been a stubborn challenge. Force-based approaches often lose effectiveness as diffusion slows and motion becomes...
New Challenges and Trends Shape Automotive Battery Recycling Efforts
Electrification is rapidly expanding automotive battery production worldwide, but that boom creates a growing “back end” problem: huge volumes of waste from both manufacturing scrap...
Electromechanical docking systems enable thin-film robotic and electronic module transfers
A new study in npj Flexible Electronics reports an electromechanical way to “snap” thin-film robotic and electronic modules together—and to separate them again—without relying on...
Sleeve Gastrectomy Triggers Adipose Browning by Modulating Asprosin and ATF3-Nrf2
Vertical sleeve gastrectomy (VSG) is known for producing swift metabolic improvements in people with obesity and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), but the biological chain...
Predictable Microbial Shifts Build Community-Wide Resilience to Environmental Stress
Microbial communities rarely behave like chaotic crowds. Instead, new work in Nature Microbiology suggests they may shift in strikingly orderly ways—allowing an entire ecosystem of...
Optical anisotropy enables more robust skyrmion-based information storage
A team of researchers reports a new route to making skyrmions—tiny, swirling magnetic textures that can behave like stable information bits—using light rather than only...
T-box transcription factor misregulation disrupts BNP–NPR1 signaling, causing chronic itch
Chronic itch, a stubborn symptom that can persist for years, has long puzzled clinicians because it often resists conventional anti-histamine and anti-inflammatory approaches. Now, a...
Lancet Definition of Clinical Obesity Applied to MASLD Patients
A new framework for defining clinical obesity, proposed by The Lancet Diabetes & Endocrinology Commission, is now being tested in liver disease patients across Asia....
Flexible thin-film electronics that reposition and connect themselves
Fukuoka, Japan—A team at Kyushu University has unveiled prototype thin-film electronic modules that can automatically dock and undock from one another, enabling circuit-driven devices to...
