Modern Redirected Walking (RDW) techniques significantly outperform classical solutions. Nevertheless, they are often limited by their heavy reliance on eye-tracking hardware embedded within the VR headset to reveal redirection opportunities. We propose a novel RDW technique that leverages the temporary blindness induced due to saccades for redirection. However, unlike the state-of-the-art, our approach does not impose additional eye-tracking hardware requirements. Instead, SaccadeNet, a deep neural network, is trained on head rotation data to predict saccades in real-time during an apparent head rotation. Rigid transformations are then applied to the virtual environment for redirection during the onset duration of these saccades. However, SaccadeNet is only effective when combined with moderate cognitive workload that elicits repeated head rotations. We present three user studies. The relationship between head and gaze directions is confirmed in the first user study,

Last year, researchers at MIT's McGovern Institute for Brain Research discovered and characterized Cas7-11, the first CRISPR enzyme capable of making precise, guided cuts to strands of RNA without harming cells in the process. Now, working with collaborators at the University of Tokyo, the same team has revealed that Cas7-11 can be shrunk to a more compact version, making it an even more viable option for editing the RNA inside living cells. The new, compact Cas7-11 was described May 27 in the journal Cell along with a detailed structural analysis of the original enzyme.

Nanosheets are finely structured two-dimensional materials and have great potential for innovation. They are fixed on top of each other in layered crystals, and must first be separated from each other so that they can be used, for example, to filter gas mixtures or for efficient gas barriers. A research team at the University of Bayreuth has now developed a gentle, environmentally-friendly process for this difficult process of delamination that can even be used on an industrial scale. This is the first time that a crystal from the technologically attractive group of zeolites has been made usable for a broad field of potential applications.

Most people are not aware of magnetic forces in their everyday lives, but continuously rely on them in electric motors, hard drives, and electric sensors. In the race to develop smaller electronic components, quantum mechanisms of these components need to be understood. In their new paper, Dr. Yunori Nishikawa from the Osaka Metropolitan University Graduate School of Science and Masashi Tokuda from Osaka University mathematically modeled the electron scattering Kondo effect in ferrimagnetic substances.

A team of scientists have focused on the Kondo effect on minimal ferrimagnetism and attempted to elucidate it theoretically. As a result, they found that the Kondo effect occurred via multiple 'quantum entangled states' depending on temperature and other factors. They also found that the Kondo effect suppressed electrical conductivity through minimal ferrimagnetism, when usually it is amplified in many other cases.

Fluorescent sensors, which can be used to label and image a wide variety of molecules, offer a unique glimpse inside living cells. However, they typically can only be used in cells grown in a lab dish or in tissues close to the surface of the body, because their signal is lost when they are implanted too deeply.

Dark matter is a type of matter in the universe that does not absorb, reflect or emit light, which makes it impossible to directly detect. In recent years, astrophysicists and cosmologists worldwide have been trying to indirectly detect this elusive type of matter, to better understand its unique features and composition.

This work demonstrates a new strategy which has the potential for improving the signal of contact-separation triboelectric nanogenerator based self-powered sensors and energy harvesting devices.

Researchers developed a multifunctional nanoplatform based on mesoporous hexagonal core-shell zinc porphyrin-silica nanoparticles (MPSNs) loaded with R837 (a toll-like receptor-7 agonist), which can be used to integrate PDT, PTT, and tumor-specific immunotherapy for breast cancer.

There's a revolution underway in astronomy. In fact, you might say there are several. In the past 10 years, exoplanet studies have advanced considerably, gravitational wave astronomy has emerged as a new field, and the first images of supermassive black holes (SMBHs) have been captured. A related field, interferometry, has also advanced incredibly thanks to highly sensitive instruments and the ability to share and combine data from observatories worldwide. In particular, the science of very-long baseline interferometry (VLBI) is opening entirely new realms of possibility.

Triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs) can collect mechanical energy through contact initiation and electrostatic induction. TENGs have a wide range of applications in self-powered sensors and mechanical energy harvesting.

Cancer immunotherapy is a treatment modality against tumor growth and metastasis via stimulating host immune responses. Phototherapy, including photodynamic therapy (PDT) and photothermal therapy (PTT), is a less invasive treatment compared to chemotherapy. To be specific, PDT and PTT-induced immunogenic cell death can release tumor-associated antigens and damage-associated molecular patterns, stimulating an immune response.

One interesting alternative to traditional antibiotics is phage therapy. Bacteriophages are viruses that selectively target and solely kill bacteria, even multi-drug resistant ones. However, scientists don't yet have the full picture of how it works and what the potential risks are. In view of these challenges, researchers have considered an alternative approach where phages are destroyed immediately after use, thus controlling dosage and circumventing undesirable consequences while maintaining the advantages of whole phage as antibacterial delivery vehicle.

Scientists are developing artificial intelligence that steers drivers towards parking spaces in busy city centres and helps keep pollution down.
