A self-resetting soft robot can repeatedly jump under infrared light, with simple design changes controlling how and where it moves. A teardrop-shaped soft robot developed at North Carolina State University can keep jumping for as long as infrared light shines on it, without needing to be reset between leaps. Depending on a simple change to […]

Enamel proteins from Homo erectus teeth suggest genetic links to Denisovans while offering a less destructive way to study ancient human fossils. A handful of ancient teeth may preserve clues to a relationship that has remained difficult to trace through fossils alone. Researchers from the Institute of Vertebrate Paleontology and Paleoanthropology (IVPP) of the Chinese […]

New research reveals more details about the doomed mission to find the Northwest Passage. Researchers have now identified four additional members of Sir John Franklin’s 1845 expedition, including one sailor whose identity had been debated for more than 100 years. The work was led by anthropologists in the Faculty of Arts at the University of […]

A microbial metabolite called 3,4 dihydroxybenzoic acid, derived from dietary fiber, improved antitumor immunity in mice. A compound made by gut bacteria during the breakdown of dietary fiber may offer a way to strengthen cancer immunotherapy. In mouse studies, University of Michigan researchers turned that compound into an oral drug that helped T cells attack […]
