Biohybrid Hand that Mimics Scissor Gesture and Object Manipulation
Researchers from the University of Tokyo and Waseda University have created a biohybrid
hand that can perform a scissor gesture and move objects. The hand uses muscle tissue
actuators (MuMuTAs) made from lab-grown
muscle tissue bundles to provide finger strength,
with potential to improve prosthetics, drug
testing, and robotics. The 18 cm hand has a 3D-
printed base and muscle tissue tendons, allowing
individual finger movement. Unlike smaller
biohybrids, it has multijointed fingers for gestures
and object manipulation. Growing muscle tissue
for larger limbs is difficult due to necrosis, but by
bundling thin tissue strands, the team achieved
the strength needed. The MuMuTAs are powered by electrical currents. In tests, the hand
demonstrated the ability to make gestures and move objects. The tissue fatigues after 10
minutes but recovers after an hour. The hand must be submerged in liquid for smooth
movement, but the team aims to create a free-moving version. More MuMuTAs could also
improve finger control. This technology could advance prosthetics and help test muscle-
related treatments.
Researchers Turn Used Coffee Grounds into Sustainable 3D-Printed Materials
A doctoral student at the University of Washington, has developed a way to turn used coffee
grounds into a sustainable material. After noticing the waste from her own espresso machine,
she realized that coffee grounds, which are
nutrient-rich and sterilized during brewing, are
perfect for growing fungus. The fungus forms
mycelial skin, a tough, lightweight material that
binds substances together. The researchers
mixed coffee grounds with rice flour, mushroom
spores, xanthan gum, and water to create a
paste, which is 3D printed into objects like
packaging, vases, and small statues. The
mycelium grows around the objects, creating a
fully compostable alternative to plastics. For complex shapes, the mycelium fuses separate
printed pieces together. This technology is particularly useful for small businesses that need
resilient, sustainable packaging. The team developed a new 3D printer head to work with the
paste, allowing for printing up to a liter of the material. After printing, the objects are left to grow
mycelium for 10 days, creating a shell-like coating. The material is comparable in strength and
toughness to Styrofoam but is more sustainable, absorbing minimal water and maintaining its
reduce environmental impact. One of the main
advantages of IRRI rice is its cost-effectiveness.
These varieties offer higher yields, require fewer
chemicals, and are more water-efficient. The
fortified rice also helps improve public health,
making it a game-changer for both agriculture and
nutrition.

UChicago Researchers Create Quantum-Inspired Atomic Memory Storage
Researchers at the University of Chicago's Pritzker School of Molecular Engineering
(UChicago PME) have developed a quantum-inspired method to store classical computer
memory in atomic-level defects in crystals,
enabling ultra-dense storage. Traditional
memory devices rely on binary “on” and “off”
states, such as transistors or disc pits. UChicago
PME's technique uses atomic defects in crystals,
allowing terabytes of data to fit into a tiny
material. The research combines quantum
techniques with radiation dosimetry, which
measures radiation exposure. The researchers
explained that this work integrates solid-state
physics and quantum methods to create new memory. By adding rare-earth elements like
Praseodymium and using ultraviolet lasers, the team made defects trap and release
electrons. These defects store binary data, with charged defects as "ones" and uncharged
ones as "zeros." This technique could significantly improve memory storage by packing
billions of cells into a small space and could revolutionize classical memory storage.

breast, lung, and pancreas.
Sweden Starts Construction of 100,000 Years Nuclear Waste Storage Facility
Sweden has started building a permanent storage facility for spent nuclear fuel, becoming the
second country to do so. The Forsmark repository, located 150 km from Stockholm, will safely
store radioactive waste for up to 100,000 years.
Environment Minister Romina Pourmokhtari
hailed the project as a major step for Sweden and
its climate goals, stating, “They said it wouldn't
work, but it does.” The facility will hold 12,000
tons of spent fuel in corrosion-resistant copper
capsules, buried 500 meters underground in
ancient bedrock. Though the project is set for
completion by 2080, concerns about potential
corrosion of the copper capsules have prompted
some safety appeals. The facility, costing 12 billion crowns ($1.08 billion), will only store waste
from Sweden's current nuclear plants, not future reactors. The advantage of Sweden's
nuclear waste storage technology is its ability to securely store radioactive waste for up to
100,000 years. By burying spent fuel deep underground in stable bedrock, the Forsmark

South Korean Researchers Develop Fireproof EV Battery with 87% Power Retention
Researchers from South Korea's Daegu Gyeongbuk Institute of Science and Technology
(DGIST) have developed a revolutionary EV battery that retains 87% of its power after 1,000
charge cycles, offering remarkable safety and
performance. The new design utilizes a triple-
layer solid polymer electrolyte, which replaces
the liquid electrolytes in traditional lithium-ion
batteries, significantly improving safety by
preventing fires or explosions. The middle layer of
the battery is made from zeolite, which prevents
dendrite formation and strengthens the battery.
The outer layers include decabromodiphenyl
ethane (DBDPE), a chemical that stops fires from
spreading and can even extinguish them, making the battery much safer, especially for
electric vehicles (EVs) and energy storage systems. This new battery also boasts superior
durability, retaining 87.9% of its capacity after 1,000 charge cycles, compared to the 70-80%
capacity of conventional lithium-ion batteries. Its longer lifespan reduces the need for frequent
replacements, making it more cost-effective and environmentally friendly.

A thousand time precise GPS system
A research team from Purdue University and Chalmers University of Technology has
developed microcomb chips that could shrink
optical atomic clocks, making them more
accessible. This breakthrough could enhance
GPS systems, offering up to 1,000 times
greater precision, benefiting applications like
autonomous vehicles and geo-data monitoring.
Optical atomic clocks are incredibly accurate,
improving time and positioning by dividing
seconds into much smaller units. However,
their large size and complexity limit their
practical use. The new microcomb-based technology makes these clocks smaller and more
usable outside of labs, such as in satellites or drones. Microcombs generate evenly spaced
light frequencies, allowing synchronization with the atomic clock's oscillations. This
advancement bridges the gap between the high-frequency optical signals and the lower
frequencies needed for counting. Additionally, the team solved the challenge of system
stability by pairing two microcombs with a slight frequency offset, enabling a more stable
and portable clock system.
resource consumption. The research reveals that switching materials or eliminating
products can lead to unintended environmental
consequences. The research emphasized the
importance of life cycle assessments in
understanding the trade-offs of material
switches. The study focused on five major
packaging types, including films and pouches
for products like dog food, shampoo, and
cosmetics. PE packaging, which dominates the
market, showed advantages in 14 out of 19
comparisons. However, lightweight paper
alternatives with added plastic liners performed worse in some cases due to their
complexity. Researchers noted that considering material-specific impacts is crucial for
packaging. The findings are expected to inform policy discussions on plastic waste
management and support extended producer responsibility (EPR) programs in U.S.
