Newly developed solar panels can self-heal and repair themselves when damaged by space radiation. This finding promises to make power sources for satellites and spacecraft more resilient and reliable in the future.A type of solar panel known as a perovskite solar cell (PSC) has previously shown a lot of potential for use in space: It's lightweight and relatively affordable to make, and it converts solar radiation into electricity at a high level of efficiency.However, it must also withstand the high-energy barrage of…

Scientists have witnessed something extraordinary. According to new reports and research, scientists watched healing metal, where cracked metal fused back together without any kind of human intervention. The discovery is one that could completely change how machines work, because machines are often victims of what we call fatigue damage. Tech. Entertainment. Science. Your inbox.

Spider-Man 2 just got a story trailer during the San Diego Comic-Con 2023 panel, dropping big hints about the future of our heroes Peter Parker and Miles Morales, as they head into conflict with two primary threats — Kraven the Hunter and the Symbiote Venom. During the Summer Game Fest event, held last month, co-creator Bryan Intihar confirmed that, unlike the comic books, Eddie Brock won't be Venom in the game, promising a mystery twist for fans that now seems to point toward Harry Osborne. Developer Insomniac Games also…

For the first time, scientists have observed metal spontaneously healing its microscopic cracks, a phenomenon that contradicts conventional material theories and opens a new frontier in engineering and materials science. (Artist’s concept.)Microscopic cracks vanish in experiments, revealing possibility of self-healing machines.In a groundbreaking discovery, scientists have for the first time observed metal spontaneously healing its microscopic cracks, upending traditional material theories. This observation could lead to…

Wolverine fans should be rabidly happy about the fact that longtime actor for the role Hugh Jackman is not only returning for Deadpool 3 but he is sporting a more comics-accurate yellow suit in the film. However, that hasn’t stopped some purists from going a step further with how Jackman looks in the movie. To give you an idea of what I’m talking about, the set photo of Jackman and Ryan Reynolds’ Deadpool were released by none other than the Australian actor himself, via his Instagram. As you can see, it looks pretty…

Most of the time, California’s waves are safe for swimmers and surfers to enjoy, but water quality experts warn there are certain times — and certain spots — that beachgoers may want to avoid.Heal the Bay outlines those locations in its annual report card of the state’s beaches. The results reflect California’s wild winter — with multiple rain-triggered sewage spills — which led to only two beaches meeting the highest clean-water standards for the entire year.Still, of California’s more than 400 beaches, 95% received top…

Not all surgical incisions are the same. While a typical straight cut might be preferred by some, a zig-zagging path can reduce scar tissue, making it a preferred method for some cosmetic procedures.An investigation by researchers at Nanyang Technological University, Singapore (NTU Singapore) has found cellular differences between the two methods, which could lead to more effective surgical incisions.Monitoring of simulated wound healing in biosynthetic materials over 64 hours found that wavy gaps in fact heal nearly…

The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom is filled to the brim with danger, but few things can be as scary as the ever-encroaching Gloom. This red-and-black substance is littered nearly everywhere in the pitch-black Depths areas of the game, and coming into contact with it has a devastating effect – it reduces your total hearts, leaving you increasingly more vulnerable. Even enemies can be infected with Gloom, meaning their attacks can chip away at your total heart reserves. Luckily, the effect can be healed in a…

He recalled waking up…

Scientists have developed a specially engineered biochip that uses electricity to heal wounds up to three times faster than normal.It's well known that electric fields can guide the movements of skin cells, nudging them towards the site of an injury for instance. In fact, the human body generates an electric field that does this naturally. So researchers from the University of Freiburg in Germany set out to amplify the effect.While it might not heal severe injuries with the speed of a Marvel superhero, it could radically…
