Nanopattern method unlocks precise control of disorder for wave-guiding devices

A research team has developed a methodology to precisely design and control the "degree of disorder" in nanopattern arrays using metal-infiltrated block copolymer (BCP) thin films. The work was led by Professor So Youn Kim of the Seoul National University College of Engineering D

Injectable silk-kudzu hydrogel achieves complete wound closure in laboratory tests

Researchers at the Terasaki Institute for Biomedical Innovation have developed an injectable hydrogel, a water-based gel material, made from silk proteins and a plant-derived compound. In laboratory tests, the material promoted complete wound closure within 72 hours, suggesting a

Brain activity under anesthesia challenges what we know about consciousness

The unconscious brain appears to be far more capable than scientists once believed. Researchers found that patients under general anesthesia could still process language at a sophisticated level, distinguishing nouns, verbs, and adjectives while listening to stories. Even more re

These tiny soil microbes could rescue crops from salty farmland

Researchers have discovered that beneficial soil bacteria give plants an unexpected survival advantage in salty soils. Instead of helping plants keep salt out, the microbes stimulate the production of lignin, a natural compound that strengthens roots and makes plants more resilie

This tiny organism contracts 200 times faster than we can blink—here's how

A tiny, aquatic, single-celled organism can contract to one-quarter of its body length in less than 5 milliseconds—hundreds of times faster than a human can blink. Researchers have discovered that the organism, Spirostomum ambiguum, uses a calcium-activated protein network in a f

DNA databases unite to create a fully open resource for transposable element research

For more than three decades, researchers studying genomes have relied on foundational resources such as Repbase and, more recently, Dfam to identify and classify transposable elements—the mobile DNA sequences that shape genome structure, evolution and function. Now, Dfam and Repb

Age bias discovered in AI

Do responses generated by artificial intelligence systems such as ChatGPT reflect social prejudice? A KAIST research team has quantitatively analyzed and identified age-related stereotypes embedded in the responses of generative artificial intelligence. The study sheds light on t
