After 43 years, gentle touch of a neutrino is finally observed

We’re actually able to detect a bump from the lightest particle we know of.

How String Theory Could Lead to New Thermal-Energy Harvesting Tech

A new class of exotic materials could find its way into next-generation technologies that efficiently convert waste heat into electrical current according to new research.

Gene-editing success holds promise for preventing inherited diseases

Scientists have, for the first time, corrected a disease-causing mutation in early stage human embryos with gene editing.

Microbes may reduce release of gases as Antarctic ice sheets melt

A new research reveals that a lake beneath the West Antarctic ice sheet contains large amounts of methane and describes how methane-eating microbes may keep the climate-warming gas from entering the atmosphere.

Human embryo edited for first time in US, pushes limits

The data is unpublished, but scientists say it advances effort to erase genetic diseases.

Longstanding biological mystery of DNA organization now solved

Scientists from US have for the first time provided an unprecedented view of the 3D structure of human chromatin in the nucleus of living human cells.

Living computers: RNA circuits transform cells into nanodevices

Scientists have demonstrated how living cells can be induced to carry out computations in the manner of tiny robots or computers.

Nanomaterial charges everyday batteries in seconds

Factories would only have to adapt to the new electrodes, rather than throwing out their existing battery know-how.

In a ‘World First’, Scientists Reverse A Brain Damage

This may be the first ever recorded case of “healing” brain damage.

Ultrathin device harvests electricity from human motion

A new electrochemical energy harvesting device can generate electrical current from the full range of human motions and is thin enough to embed in clothing.

First laboratory generation of astrophysical shock waves created

The first laboratory generation of an astrophysical shock wave has been reported by scientists.

A New Gene-Altering Cancer Treatment Shows ‘Astonishing’ Rate of Success

A Food and Drug Administration panel has recommended approval of a leukemia treatment that rewires a patient’s immune cells to fight cancer.

This Squishy Artificial Heart is Amazing

Researchers in Europe have created a soft artificial heart that mimics the real one. The approach could revolutionize the way patients with heart disease are treated.

Quantum Mechanics Could Shake Up Our Understanding of Earth’s Magnetic Field

Scientists think that might be the case, and are looking for a source of extra energy that could generate the magnetic field they observe.

Epigenetics between the generations

Researchers show that the inherited epigenetic instructions contribute in regulating gene expression in the offspring. Another study proves that mother's epigenetic memory is essential for the development and survival of the new generation.
