Scientist constructs artificial photosynthetic cells

Scientists build artificial cells as models of primitive cells. Research team have constructed artificial cells using minimal components that are able to supply energy to drive gene expression inside a microcompartment, thus these artificial cells can produce energy that helps synthesize parts of the cells themselves. This work marks an important milestone in constructing artificial autotrophic cells, and may shed light on how primordial cells used sunlight as an energy source early in life's history. from All Top News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2019/03/190325110233.htm

Effective fear of heights treatment without a therapist using virtual reality, study suggests

A fully self-guided treatment using virtual reality (VR) is effective in reducing fear of heights. A team of researchers developed ZeroPhobia, a treatment delivered through a smartphone app and a basic VR viewer. from Top Technology News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2019/03/190325110324.htm

New heart valve aimed at high-risk patients

Researchers have created the first-ever nanocomposite biomaterial heart-valve developed to reduce or eliminate complications related to heart transplants. By using a newly developed technique, the researchers were able to build a more durable valve that enables the heart to adapt faster and more seamlessly. from Top Technology News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2019/03/190325110315.htm

Searching for missing anti-matter: A successful start to measurements with Belle II

The Belle II detector got off to a successful start in Japan. Since March 25, 2019, the instrument has been measuring the first particle collisions, which are generated in the modernized SuperKEKB accelerator. The new duo produces more than 50 times the number of collisions compared to its predecessor. The huge increase in evaluable data means that there is not a greater chance of finding out why there is an imbalance between matter and anti-matter in the Universe. from Top Technology News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2019/03/190325110243.htm

Icy giant planets in the laboratory

Giant planets like Neptune may contain much less free hydrogen than previously assumed. Researchers drove shock waves through two different types of plastic to reach the same temperatures and pressures present inside such planets, and observed the behavior using ultra-strong X-ray laser pulses. Unexpectedly, one of these plastics kept its crystalline structure even at the most extreme pressures. Since the icy giant interiors are made up of the same components as the plastic, planetary models may need to be partially reconsidered. from Top Technology News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2019/03/190325110246.htm
