🔬 Knitted Computers, Shape-Shifting Cancer Drugs & The Ancient City That Solved Inequality
from 🎙️ Science News Daily | Peer Review'd · host Peer Review'd
Harvard researchers have transformed ordinary knitting into programmable technology capable of acting as sensors and electrical switches, opening the door to a new era of smart wearables. A chemistry breakthrough using 'free electrons' has shattered long-standing rules about which molecules can bond, potentially unlocking drugs that were previously impossible to create. In neuroscience, a single dose of a transplant drug reversed nearly every autism-associated brain change in adult mice within just two hours — a result scientists are calling remarkable. Meanwhile, a 4,000-year-old city may have cracked the code on inequality, with evidence suggesting shared infrastructure and fair systems actually fueled its prosperity. From a museum rock hiding an unknown sea monster to Galápagos plants evolving the same traits through completely different genes, evolution and discovery are unfolding in real time.Subscribe to Peer Review'd Newsletter: https://peerreviewd.com/Love Science?
