A breakthrough from the University of Virginia has opened new possibilities in 3D-printable materials, capable of transforming both medical devices and advanced battery technologies. The innovation revolves around a stretchable, biologically compatible material that could help improve organ transplants and drug delivery systems. The research, published in Advanced Materials, has shown promise for enhancing solid-state batteries. The Stretchable Revolution: PEG Gets an Upgrade Polyethylene glycol (PEG) has been a staple in biomedical engineering, used in everything from tissue engineering to drug delivery. However, traditional PEG networks often suffer from brittleness, preventing their use in flexible and dynamic environments. Researchers at…

Memo may not be the world’s fastest barista, but it is impressive—for a robot.I recently watched as Memo, a new home robot from a company called Sunday Robotics, made coffee in an open-plan kitchen in Mountain View, California.Memo looks like something out of Wall-E, with a gleaming white body, two arms, a friendly cartoonish face, and a red baseball cap. Rather than using legs as a fully humanoid robot would, Memo moves around using a wheeled platform and changes its height by sliding up and down a central column atop that platform.The robot responded to a request for an espresso…

Caroline Haskins: So one thing that happened recently is that Palantir had its earnings call. And I think sort of consistent with what you observed, Alex Karp seemed really exuberant during that earnings call. I think he said that it was the best earnings for a software company in history, but the company is doing reportedly almost $1 billion in revenue for the first time.It’s a top performer in the S&P 500. And yet, one thing that Alex Karp always insists on, at least rhetorically, is that Palantir, or at least Palantirians, employees, culturally are outsiders, underdogs, et cetera. I…

In a lab at MIT, researchers have built a particle accelerator no bigger than a molecule. By targeting a radium monofluoride molecule with laser energy inside a vacuum, they observed electrons breaching the atomic nucleus—opening a new pathway for studying the hidden mechanics of matter. This tiny setup challenges the assumption that massive machines are required to unlock the universe’s subatomic secrets. The molecule’s structure acts like a self-contained collider, providing high-precision insights into atomic behavior—no sprawling tunnels necessary. Shrinking the Accelerator Traditionally, investigating the smallest components of matter has required enormous infrastructure. The Large Hadron Collider spans 17 miles…

Unpaid property tax dues have yet again landed Mantri Mall, located at Malleshwaram, in trouble. Officials from the Bengaluru Central City Corporation sealed the mall on Wednesday morning, but it was reopened in the evening after a court order. Speaking to reporters, Corporation Commissioner P Rajendra Cholan said that property tax arrears of the mall exceeded Rs 30 crore. “Despite notices asking to clear the dues, they have not responded. That is why a closure was ordered and the mall was shut in the morning,” he said. A court allowed Mantri Mall to open after the mall authorities approached it…

Bengaluru: Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah Wednesday backed demands to introduce reservations in the private sector.“We demand that there should be reservation even in the private sector. Not just in government set-up but also in private,” he said during his speech after unveiling former backward classes commission chairman, L.G. Havanur’s statue in Bengaluru. The statement of the 77-year-old chief minister, who is conducting a second socio-economic and educational survey in Karnataka, came shortly after that of Professor Ravi Varma Kumar, former Advocate General of Karnataka. Kumar alleged that communities that were opposing social justice for oppressed classes were the ones enjoying…

Unlike DNA, which offers genetic potential, RNA captures a snapshot of gene activity in real time. This new approach offers scientists an unexpectedly intimate look at the final biological moments of an Ice Age giant. For decades, the story of the woolly mammoth—its biology, habits, and extinction—was largely pieced together from bones, teeth, and fragments of DNA. But RNA, a far more fragile molecule, was thought too unstable to survive millennia. The discovery by researchers at Stockholm University, led by Emilio Mármol and Love Dalén, shatters that assumption. They managed to isolate and analyze RNA strands from muscle tissue, offering…
