The first known magnetic field around an exoplanet has been detected, surrounding the hot Neptune HAT-P-11b. The method used in this finding could help to determine which planets are most suitable for life.
IBM and Samsung Electronics have jointly announced a breakthrough in semiconductor design, utilising a new vertical transistor architecture that demonstrates a path to scaling beyond the nanosheet.
Tokamak Energy has announced a more efficient design for the cryogenic electronics in fusion reactors. This can provide a 50% reduction in the power needed for the cooling of high-temperature superconducting magnets.
Japanese researchers have demonstrated a vaccine to remove senescent cells in mice. These so-called "zombie cells" are a key driver behind the aging process.
In the first study of its kind, researchers have demonstrated that a stem cell-based treatment delivered through an implantable device can produce insulin in the human body.
