Hundreds of millions of years ago, single cells joined forces to become multicellular organisms. At the foundation of this multicellular world is the cell surface: the plasma membrane surrounding each cell, where individual units meet and communicate with one another using a language made up of molecules and proteins.
A study by the Medical University of Vienna has made important progress in understanding heat perception in humans. The research team was able to identify a specific cell structure that plays a role in recognizing heat. However, most of the protective recognition of heat in everyday life depends on other, as yet unknown structures.
About the Episode
What if it were possible to generate tissues and cells that replicate the functions of human organs, and then use them to study and treat human conditions?
Imagine you’re talking to a very smart assistant who gives you answers based on what you’ve said.

Upon ultrafast photoexcitation, an all-dielectric nonlocal metasurface enables giant dichroism and birefringence modulations, working as a quarter-waveplate actively reconfigurable over picoseconds.
Researchers are exploring how large language models (LLMs) can generate social networks, which are crucial for applications like epidemic modeling and social simulations.

Researchers have come up with a new method for 3D-printed adhesive that is much stronger than any other glue.
Footage making the rounds on social media shows what appear to be astonishingly lifelike humanoid robots posing at the World Robot Conference in Beijing last week.
But instead of showing off the latest and greatest in humanoid robotics, two of the “robots” turned out to be human women cosplaying as futuristic gynoids, presumably hired by animatronics company Ex-Robots.
“Many people think these are all robots without realizing they’re actually two human beings cosplayed as robots among the animatronics,” reporter Byron Wan tweeted.
The work on the planned Dallas and Houston high-speed rail continues to advance slowly, despite years of pushback.
