Swallowing is a fundamental human function that supports nutrition and communication. Damage to swallowing muscles can reduce quality of life and even lead to aspiration pneumonia or malnutrition. Many patients suffer from swallowing difficulties after being treated for head or neck cancer, and swallowing disorders are also common in older adults, yet effective therapies have been limited.

Johns Hopkins Medicine scientists say they have developed a simplified version of biodegradable nanoparticles that can "educate" the immune system to find and destroy disease-causing cells throughout the body. The study, they say, advances the field of engineering immune cells within a patient's own body to combat cancers and autoimmune diseases including lupus, among other conditions.

Yesterday amid a flurry of enterprise AI product updates, Google announced arguably its most significant one for enterprise customers: the public preview availability of Gemini Embedding 2, its new embeddings model — a significant evolution in how machines represent and retrieve information across different media types. While previous embedding models were largely restricted to text, this new model natively integrates text, images, video, audio, and documents into a single numerical space — reducing latency by as much as 70% for some customers and reducing total cost for enterprises who use AI models powered by their own data to complete business tasks. Who needs and uses an embedding model?For those who have encountered the term "embeddings" in AI discussions but find it abstract, a useful analogy is that of a universal library. In a traditional library, books are organized by metadata: author, title, or genre. In the "embedding space" of an AI,

Traditional chemical rockets, though they are the most commonly used propulsion method for space exploration today, are beholden to the tyranny of the rocket equation. Every ounce of thrust they use must also start out as fuel, which means the rocket itself will have to weigh more, and weight is one of the limiting factors in how fast a propulsion system can go. So, scientists have been searching for, and actively testing, alternatives for decades. One of the most promising is the solar sail - a huge reflective sheet that uses sunlight, or in some cases a “pushing laser” to maneuver about the solar system without any onboard propellant necessary. A recent paper published in the Journal of Nanophotonics by Dimitar Dimitrov and Elijah Taylor Harris of Tuskegee University describes a new type of light sail that solves some of the major problems of existing

Exhibition halls at the InterBattery 2026 trade show in Seoul were packed Wednesday with visitors from around the world, underscoring continued international interest in Korea’s battery industry despite a lingering slowdown in the electric vehicle (EV) market. The absence of the industry minister and the CEOs of Korea’s top three battery manufacturers, however, also reflected the ongoing challenges in the sector, which is struggling with both an EV supply glut and dominance of Chinese companies. Trade, Industry and Resources Vice Minister Moon Shin-hak warned that Korea’s battery industry has only five to seven years left to overcome the current crisis. “We can strengthen our competitiveness before our European and U.S. rivals secure enough production capacity,” he said in his opening remarks for the three-day event. Korea Battery Industry Association Chairman and POSCO Future M CEO Eom Gi-chen told reporters that growth in markets for energy storage systems (ESS), humanoid robots and

More than a century before quantum mechanics was born, Irish mathematician William Rowan Hamilton stumbled onto an idea that would quietly foreshadow one of the deepest truths in physics. While studying the paths of light rays and moving objects, Hamilton noticed a striking mathematical similarity between them and used it to develop a powerful new framework for mechanics. At the time, it seemed like a clever analogy—but decades later, as scientists uncovered the strange wave-particle nature of light and matter, Hamilton’s insight took on new meaning.
