Scientists have discovered a new technique that can leave out particular sections of a gene, essentially 'skipping' them. New method, called CRISPR-SKIP, could be used to control how genes are expressed and regulated.
The world’s first ultrathin artificial retina, based on flexible 2D materials, could drastically improve visualisation technology for the blind.
For the first time, physicists at CERN have observed a benchmark atomic energy transition in anithydrogen, a major step toward cooling and manipulating the basic form of antimatter.
The researchers were able to reverse the aging process of some old human cells by delivering a specific molecule to their mitochondria, the structures within cells where energy is produced.
US researchers report that dietary iron supplements help to survive a normally lethal bacterial infection and resulted in later generations of those bacteria being less virulent.
Swedish researchers have created a systematic and detailed map of the cell types of the mouse nervous system. The researchers will now use the same methods to map out the human brain on a detailed level.
Researchers have found a way to accelerate antimatter in a 1000x smaller space than current accelerators, boosting the science of exotic particles.
Physicists have now demonstrated the world-first simulation of a chemical bond using trapped ion qubits, one of the most promising pathways to full-scale quantum computing.
The achievement opens up the possibility of using similarly bioengineered lungs for humans in need of a lung transplant.
In this case a beam of lead “atoms” traveled through the accelerator with at least one electron attached. The physicists hope to one day use these accelerated atoms in a next-generation experiment.
An implantable bioartificial kidney may be ready for human trials by the end of the year, according to a recent update from the researchers.
Scientists have just defined a new shape called the scutoid (SCOO-toid) while studying epithelial cells, the building blocks of embryos that eventually end up forming our skin and lining our organs and blood vessels.
A sophisticated electron detector has for the first time enabled scientists to reveal sub-angstrom detail in a 2D material.
International research team has identified more than 1,200 genes linked to educational attainment. With more than 1.1 million participants from 15 countries, the study is among the largest human genetics studies to date.
The titanium microbots could one day provide a minimally invasive method for delivering therapies in humans.
