Such sensors could one day carry out MRI at the scale of individual cells or aid researchers in drug development. Fragile quantum states might seem incompatible with the messy world of biology. But researchers have now coaxed cells to produce quantum sensors made of proteins. Quantum states are

The price tag is orders of magnitude cheaper than most robots in its class, which can run into tens or even hundreds of thousands of dollars. You might have noticed that humanoid robots are having a bit of a moment. From Tesla’s Optimus to Figure AI’s Figure 02, these machines are no longer just

The lung survived nine days but also whipped up an immune response. It’s hoped pig organs could one day ease the donor organ shortage. A heavily modified pig lung survived for 216 hours inside a brain-dead human recipient. Reported in Nature Medicine, it’s the first trial of a cross-species lung

Though the technology is embryonic, a new study takes a stab at predicting whether space-based solar could play a role in the energy transition. The idea of beaming solar power down from space might sound like science fiction, but it’s being taken seriously by a growing number of governments. A new
