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 t... Read more
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... Read more
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, so... Read more
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 endan... Read more
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 sc... Read more
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 nanomedic... Read more
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... Read more
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, r... Read more
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 perfor... Read more
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 pos... Read more
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, p... Read more
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 ba... Read more
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 po... Read more
