Mar 10, 2026 Researchers developed hair-thin polymer fibers that bend and contract with electricity, enabling soft robotic actuators that can be woven into textiles. (Nanowerk News) Researchers at Tohoku University, working with international collaborators in France, have developed an ultrafine "soft yarn" actuator fiber capable of bending, contracting, and producing...
New mRNA platform maintains drug efficacy in aging and obese patients
Mar 10, 2026 Scientists developed a new mRNA platform that keeps vaccines and therapies effective in older adults and patients with obesity, where current treatments often lose potency. (Nanowerk News) Researchers have engineered a redesigned regulatory region of messenger RNA that substantially boosts protein production and immune responses in preclinical...
