    Thousands march for Palestine in Washington, DC
    Thousands of people protest the Trump administration’s suppression of pro-Palestinian speech on college campuses, in Washington, U.S., on April 5, 2025. Attendees marched to the headquarters of Immigrations and Customs Enforcement (ICE), the agency that has arrested several legal residents following their participation in pro-Palestinian demonstrations.

    Picture MUST credit: Tufts University/Marco Lo Presti A sticky thread inspired by comic book hero Spider-Man’s web, has been created by researchers. The material is fluid when shot from a needle and then almost immediately solidifies and is strong enough to adhere to and pick up heavy objects. The sticky fibres come from silk moth cocoons, which are broken down into their protein building blocks by boiling them in solution. The solution can then be extruded through narrow bore needles to form a stream that, thanks to the right additives, solidifies when it’s exposed to air. Moth silk has similar properties to spiders’ silk but with less structural complexity, and the raw materials are easier to come by. When tested, the extruded web string fibres were able to lift over 80 times their own weight. The researchers successfully picked up a steel bolt, a laboratory tube floating on water, a scalpel half-buried in sand, and a wood block all from from a distance of about 12 cm. The researchers from the USA’s Tufts University in Massachusetts, foresee a range of applications for the material including tissue engineering, drug delivery, biomaterials, and adhesives.

    When tested, the extruded web string fibres were able to lift over 80 times their own weight.
    The researchers successfully picked up a steel bolt, a laboratory tube floating on water, a scalpel half-buried in sand, and a wood block all from from a distance of about 12 cm.
    The researchers from the USA’s Tufts University in Massachusetts, foresee a range of applications for the material including tissue engineering, drug delivery, biomaterials, and adhesives.

    A sticky thread inspired by comic book hero Spider-Man’s web, has been created by researchers.
    The material is fluid when shot from a needle and then almost immediately solidifies and is strong enough to adhere to and pick up heavy objects.
    The sticky fibres come from silk moth cocoons, which are broken down into their protein building blocks by boiling them in solution.
    The solution can then be extruded through narrow bore needles to form a stream that, thanks to the right additives, solidifies when it’s exposed to air.

    Microscopic living robots made from frog embryos are being developed with self-healing powers and the ability to keep memories.They are able to self-propel using hair-like 'legs' They could have the ability to recall things such as radioactive contamination, chemical pollutants or a disease condition in the body that can be reported back to researchers for further investigation,The innovation pulls from previous work released last year, called Xenobots, but has been upgraded to move more efficiently and perform more complex tasks.The new version, called Xenobots 2.0 , has a number of improvements.Both machines were developed by US biologists and computer scientists from Tufts University in Massachusetts and the University of Vermont.The name Xenobots derives from the name of the African frog Xenopus Laevis whose spawn was used to gather cells.The original bots were programmed to perform a range of tasks, specifically delivering medicine directly to a point in the body.However, the 2.0 versions have been upgraded to move faster, navigate different environments and have longer life spans.

    Microscopic living robots made from frog embryos are being developed with self-healing powers and the ability to keep memories.They are able to self-propel using hair-like 'legs' They could have the ability to recall things such as radioactive contamination, chemical pollutants or a disease condition in the body that can be reported back to researchers for further investigation,The innovation pulls from previous work released last year, called Xenobots, but has been upgraded to move more efficiently and perform more complex tasks.The new version, called Xenobots 2.0 , has a number of improvements.Both machines were developed by US biologists and computer scientists from Tufts University in Massachusetts and the University of Vermont.The name Xenobots derives from the name of the African frog Xenopus Laevis whose spawn was used to gather cells.The original bots were programmed to perform a range of tasks, specifically delivering medicine directly to a point in the body.However, the 2.0 versions have been upgraded to move faster, navigate different environments and have longer life spans.
