Gene-Edited Pigs Better Model Huntington’s Disease

Using the CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing system, researchers have developed a pig model of Huntington’s disease that better mimics how the disease progresses in humans.

Technology

Flexible And Waterproof Batteries To Power Wearable Devices

By twisting carbon nanotube fibers into a yarn, scientists in China have developed a waterproof zinc-ion battery that can be knitted and stretched.

Technology

Generating Electricity With The Flick Of The Wrist

Scientists in China have found a way to produce electricity from slight body movements, such as bending a finger or rotating the wrist.
