How can materials automatically perform protective functions in the event of a fire, and why are sustainable flame retardants becoming increasingly important? The Fraunhofer Institute for Applied ...

Data keeps growing exponentially, driving demand for better memory storage solutions. Synthetic DNA is a strong candidate to ...

A first-in-human study has begun evaluating Shape Memory Medical's investigational False Lumen Embolization (FLE) System in aortic dissection. The FLE device uses a shape memory polymer scaffold ...

Cosmologists have an embarrassing problem: we don’t know what shape the universe is. The cosmos has three possible geometries—positively curved like a sphere, flat like an infinite plane or negatively ...

Infected bone defects arise in conditions such as osteomyelitis and post-traumatic bone infections, where microbial persistence and immune imbalance prevent effective healing. Standard treatments rely ...

In a development poised to shift the paradigm in cardiovascular medicine, researchers are designing fully polymeric heart valves to replace traditional metallic implants. These valves, crafted from ...

A global shortage in memory chips sparked by artificial intelligence has dealt a “tsunami-like shock” to the smartphone industry, pushing prices to all-time highs, according to a new report. A ...

Start off in any direction and fly through the universe. Out of our solar system, beyond the edge of the Milky Way, through the forest of galaxies that make up our Local Group into the wilderness of ...

Memory chips are a key component of artificial intelligence data centers. The boom in AI data center construction has caused a shortage of semiconductors, which are also crucial for electronics like ...

Ripple effect: DRAM prices have surged in recent months, and that spike is set to ripple far beyond memory modules themselves. As the shortage deepens and stretches into 2026, supply chain insiders ...

This year, there won't be enough memory to meet worldwide demand because powerful AI chips made by the likes of Nvidia, AMD and Google need so much of it. Prices for computer memory, or RAM, are ...

A supply shortage is the last thing tech companies want to talk about at CES. The annual trade show is their chance to promote new products and drum up excitement for what's coming, not discuss the ...
