A new structure in human cells has been discovered by Swedish researchers. The structure is a new type of protein complex that the cell uses to attach to its surroundings and proves to play a key part in cell division.
UK researchers have become the first in the world to develop technology which can bend sound waves around an obstacle and levitate an object above it.
A research group from Japan have, for the first time, succeeded in growing three-dimensional salivary gland tissue that produces saliva like normal glands.
A 3D-printed cement paste could one day be used to make buildings more resilient to natural disasters, claim US researchers. The paste actually gets tougher the more it cracks. That would make it an invaluable new material.
Japanese researchers have successfully created immature human eggs out of stem cells, bringing us a step closer to make babies from skin cells.
This is the result of research conducted with over 220,000 individuals. For the first time the researchers identified two genetic variants for finding meaning in life and six genetic variants for happiness.
American Frances H. Arnold has won half of the 2018 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for her work in changing how chemists produce new enzymes, sharing the prize with another George Smith, and Gregory Winter.
Three scientists from the United States, France and Canada are awarded the Nobel Prize in physics for the development of short, intense laser pulses and for optical tweezers that can grab tiny particles.
The Nobel Prize Committee has honored two researchers for their role in pioneering a new avenue for cancer treatment, one where the therapy targets the immune system, which then goes on to attack the cancer.
In a new experiment, a team of researchers used laser pulses to accelerate photons to near the speed of light, which could have immense applications for space flight and particle physics.
Researchers have discovered a revolutionary and cheap way to make filters that can turn water contaminated with heavy metals into safe drinking water in a matter of minutes.
Two new reports suggest that electrically stimulating the spinal cords of accident victims can let them walk again.
Astronomers report the first detection of matter falling into a black hole at 30% of the speed of light, located in the center of the billion-light year distant galaxy PG211+143.
Over 500 new gene regions that influence people's blood pressure have been discovered in the largest global genetic study of blood pressure to date, led by UK.
Engineers have developed a new ultrasound transducer that could dramatically lower the cost of ultrasound scanners to as little as $100. Their innovation is portable, wearable and can be powered by a smartphone.
