Metallic Glass Electrode Could Power Wearable Heaters and Defrosters
Researchers at UNIST have developed a stretchable, transparent heater using a copper-zirconium metallic glass electrode. The device can be stretched over 150% without losing conductivity and could be used for thermotherapy patches or defrosting vehicle mirrors. This marks the first stretchable electronic device made from metallic glass.

Chromosome Folding Reversal: Human DNA Reshaped to Mimic Mosquitoes
Two independent research teams discovered that a single protein, condensin II, dictates how chromosomes are folded, and by disabling it, human DNA can be reshaped to resemble mosquito chromosomes. The findings, published in Science, reveal that most species fall into one of two chromosome-folding categories, with some switching over evolutionary time. This research sheds light on fundamental genome architecture and its potential impact on species survival.
