Nanopores Feel the Heat: Breakthrough May Lead to More Efficient DNA Sequencing Technology
Researchers at Osaka University use a tiny thermometer to directly monitor changes in temperature when ions pass through a nanopore, which may lead to more efficient DNA sequencing technology. Scientists from SANKEN (the Institute of Scientific and Industrial Research) at Osaka University measured the thermal effects of ionic flow through a nanopore using a thermocouple.…
More consumers are looking for plant-based credentials in the chocolate aisle and brands in the category have responded accordingly with vegan and dairy-free chocolate products. Globally, the sector recorded a 24% compound annual growth rate for 2018 to 2020 with North America accounting for 21% of new plant-based chocolate launches, according to Innova Market Insights…
UltraRAM breakthrough could finally fuse RAM and storage into a single package
Why it matters: For the longest time, memory and storage have been working as separate parts of a computing device. Manufacturers have tried combining the advantages of RAM and NAND into a single package, but only with limited success. A new type of non-volatile memory called UltraRAM is showing potential, but it'll be a while…

Charlie Puth Has Breakthrough COVID-19—Here’s How He’s Feeling
Singer Charlie Puth has announced that he’s tested positive for COVID-19. The singer, who had shared that he was fully vaccinated back in May, isn’t feeling great physically—though he does at least believe he’s now on the mend. “I’m not feeling amazing but I think the worst is behind me,” Puth, 30, wrote on Twitter.…
