Using artificial intelligence, MIT researchers have come up with a new way to design nanoparticles that can more efficiently deliver RNA vaccines and other types of RNA therapies. After training a machine-learning model to analyse thousands of existing […]
Dancing molecules can promote cartilage repair
A new therapy uses synthetic nanofibers to mimic the natural signalling of a protein that is crucial for cartilage formation and maintenance. Scientists found that intensifying the motion of molecules within the nanofibers led to more components needed for regeneration. Experiments have demonstrated that after just four hours, the treatment activated the gene expression necessary […]

Newly discovered supernova reveals innerworkings of a dying star
Astrophysicists have detected a supernova embedded in a wind rich with silicon, sulfur and argon. The observations suggest the massive star lost its outer hydrogen and helium layers long before exploding. This discovery offers direct evidence of the long-theorized inner shell structure of massive stars. When massive stars explode, astrophysicists typically find strong signatures of […]
Australia orders audit of crypto trading giant Binance
