Chinese scientists have created the world’s largest brain controller, with which bees can be flown like robots. Scientists at the Beijing Institute of Technology have achieved a remarkable milestone by creating the lightest insect brain controller ever built, weighing merely 74 milligrams. This groundbreaking device has the potential to transform how insects like bees are … Read more
Scientists in China’s Hunan province have unveiled a miniature drone resembling a mosquito, measuring barely the size of a human fingernail 0.6 cm. Despite its toy-like appearance, this tiny robotic insect is designed for advanced reconnaissance and surveillance operations. The drone features two yellow, leaf-shaped wings, a sleek black body, and three hair-thin legs, mimicking … Read more
A group of scientists in southwestern China embarked on a challenging expedition to the Dagu Glacier, hoping to slow its rapid melting caused by global warming. They planned to cover a portion of the glacier with sun-reflecting sheets made of cellulose acetate, a natural fibre, to shield it from the heat and potentially preserve some … Read more
BEIJING – Chinese scientists have developed a molecular system that can provide COVID-19 testing results in less than four minutes. A research team from Shanghai-based Fudan University mentioned this portable prototype device in a study published recently in the journal Nature Biomedical Engineering, saying it can detect the traces of COVID-19-related genetic material quickly and … Read more
BEIJING – Chinese scientists say they have developed a new coronavirus test that is accurate as a PCR lab test but gives results within four minutes. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) tests are widely considered the most accurate and sensitive for the virus that causes Covid-19, but they usually take several hours. Some countries have experienced … Read more
BEIJING, Dec. 14 (Xinhua) — Chinese scientists have revealed that COVID-19 infections significantly accelerate the aging of lung tissue, especially in the elderly. A report by the Science and Technology Daily showed that the main cause of death of COVID-19 patients was respiratory failure caused by severe lung injury. To determine which parts of the … Read more
BEIJING, Dec. 9 (Xinhua) — Chinese scientists have developed a targeted delivery system that can bring gene-editing tools to colon cells, offering a precise cure for inflammatory bowel disease.
