A swarm of tiny drones that can explore unknown environments completely by themselves

Swarm of tiny drones explores unknown environments This work, presented in Science Robotics on 23 October, forms a significant step in the field of swarm robotics. The challenge comes from the fact that the tiny 33-gram drones need to navigate autonomously while having extremely limited sensing and computational capabilities. The joint research team – with

Can a new electronic nose sniff out which lung cancer patients will respond to immunotherapy

An electronic nose that detects chemicals in the breath of lung cancer patients can identify with 85% accuracy those who will or will not respond to immunotherapy, according to new research published in the leading cancer journal Annals of Oncology today (Wednesday). The results of the first study to investigate this show that the eNose is more

Superfast data processing using light pulses instead of electricity

Superfast data processing using light pulses instead of electricity has been created by scientists. The invention uses magnets to record computer data which consume virtually zero energy, solving the dilemma of how to create faster data processing speeds without the accompanying high energy costs. Today’s data centre servers consume between 2 to 5% of global

To what extent are people prepared to show consideration for robots?

Robot saved, people take the hit To what extent are people prepared to show consideration for robots? A new study suggests that, under certain circumstances, some people are willing to endanger human lives – out of concern for robots. Robots are now being employed not just for hazardous tasks, such as detecting and disarming mines.

Research shows that the dye methylene blue is a safe antimalarial that kills malaria parasites at an unprecedented rate

Within two days, patients are cured of the disease and no longer transmit the parasite if they are bitten again by a mosquito. This discovery was made by Radboud university medical center scientists and international colleagues during a research project conducted in Mali. The results will be published in The Lancet Infectious Diseases on February 6th. The

Self-destroying nanosubmarine delivers and releases drugs for cells

Self-destroyed redox-sensitive stomatocyte nanomotor delivers and releases drugs for cells Autonomous targeting and release of drugs at their site of action are desired features of nanomedical systems. Now, a team of Dutch scientists has designed a nanomotor that has these functions: An antitumor drug encapsulated in self-propelled, self-assembled stomatocytes is carried across the cellular membrane

Tiny nanorocket machines are ideal candidates for drug delivery in the human body

Tiny machines like nanorockets are ideal candidates for drug delivery in the human body. Chemists at Radboud University now demonstrate the first complete movement regulation of a nanorocket, by providing temperature responsive brakes. An interesting feature for practical applications, since temperature sensitivity enables the rocket to stop in diseased tissues where temperatures are higher. The

Re-activating a compromised immune system to fight sepsis

Failure of the immune system during blood poisoning (sepsis) can be reversed by a specific sugar. This restores the ability of immune cells to respond effectively to infections. This week, researchers from Radboud University and Radboudumc published an article on this topic in Cell. These insights can lead to improved treatment of sepsis. Sepsis is

T-waves will “speed up” computer memory by a factor of 1,000

Together with their colleagues from Germany and the Netherlands, scientists at the Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology (MIPT) have found a way to significantly improve computer performance. In their paper published in Nature Photonics, they propose the use of the so-called T-waves, or terahertz radiation as a means of resetting computer memory cells. This process is

Key component for wireless communication with terahertz frequencies

An ultrahigh speed, wireless communication network using THz instead of GHz frequencies is now one step closer. Researchers at Radboud University’s FELIX Laboratory have shown that it is possible to effectively transmit signal waves with THz frequencies through the existing fibre optic network. HD television, big data, the internet of things and social media have

Radboud professor invents magnet for fast and cheap data storage

Optical data storage does not require expensive magnetic materials as synthetic alternatives work just as well. This is the finding of an international team from York, Berlin and Nijmegen, published Thursday February 27 in Applied Physics Letters. The team’s discovery brings the much cheaper method for storing data using light a step closer. It was Professor Rasing,

Shock Therapy can Erase Bad Memories, Researchers Say

Just like the movie, researchers found that exposing the brain to short bursts of ECT could be used to erase sad memories. Electroconvulsive (ECT) or electroshock therapy has had a bit of bad reputation as it involves zapping the brain with electric current via electrode pads placed on patients’ scalp. However, the therapy can be

Computer can read letters directly from the brain

Our approach is similar to how we believe the brain itself combines prior knowledge with sensory information By analysing MRI images of the brain with an elegant mathematical model, it is possible to reconstruct thoughts more accurately than ever before. In this way, researchers from Radboud University Nijmegen have succeeded in determining which letter a

Crowd-sourcing brain research leads to breakthrough

Largest collaborative study of the brain to date In the largest collaborative study of the brain to date, scientists using imaging technology at more than 100 centres worldwide have for the first time zeroed in on genes that they agree play a role in intelligence and memory. Scientists working to understand the biology of brain
