MIT chemists have devised a way to rapidly synthesize and screen millions of novel proteins that could be used as drugs against Ebola and other viruses.
The agency just launched the Cold Atom Lab, a box that takes advantage of microgravity aboard the International Space Station and creates a temperature roughly 10 billion times colder than the vacuum of space.
A French nanorobotics team has assembled a new microrobotics system that pushes forward the frontiers of optical nanotechnologies.
The drug, called Aimovig works by using antibodies to block the effect of a protein molecule that plays a key role in triggering and sustaining migraines, known as calcitonin gene-related peptide, or CGRP.
Engineers have created a 3D-printed smart gel that walks underwater and grabs objects and moves them. The watery creation could lead to soft robots.
A robotic system has been developed to automate the production of human mini-organs derived from stem cells. This will expand the use of mini-organs in basic research and drug discovery.
Scientists have used a powerful X-ray laser for an experimental set-up that produced an exotic state of water. Researchers hope to learn more about the peculiar characteristics of Earth's most important liquid.
An international team has developed a novel tool to accurately predict eye, hair and skin color from human biological material, even a small DNA sample.
A newly developed sorbent-based technology has recently shown that it can harvest atmospheric moisture even when the relative humidity drops to around 10 percent.
Researchers found a new technique to "densify" wood where fibers assemble to make the cell walls stiff and strong, a process called cellulose nanofibrils (CNFs).
Researchers have developed a new platform that makes CRISPR less like a cutting tool and more like a word processor with a search-and-replace function.
Affordable, rapid DNA sequencing is causing a revolution in medicine and healthcare globally, and it's happening now.
Physicists have uncovered hints of a time crystal. Time crystals, first identified in 2016, are different from ordinary crystals, - their atoms spin periodically, first in one direction and then in another.
A High school student from USA has discovered that carbon, which usually only forms four bonds, can end up forming a mind-boggling seven bonds, a higher number than ever considered possible for the element.
Now three independent European research groups have managed to entangle not just a pair of particles, but separated clouds of thousands of atoms.
