Engineers at CERN took magnets originally designed for the LHC, combined them with X-ray focusing technology originally designed for space, and built a device that could spot axions arriving here from the Sun.
A synthetic, soft tissue retina could offer fresh hope to visually impaired people. Until now, all artificial retinal research has used only rigid, hard materials.
Scientists have demonstrated that HIV-1 replication can be completely shut down and the virus eliminated from infected cells in animals with a powerful gene editing technology.
This week, a team of US researchers announced the successful production of a lab-grown neuron that could help heal spinal cord injuries by reestablishing the connection between brain and muscle.
An Italian neuroscientist who says he’s planning to perform the world’s first head transplant later this year has told a German magazine that he intends to thaw a cryogenically preserved brain and transplant it in a donor body within three years.
Teams of scientists are now working on a truly creative strategy: a pill carrying the genome-editing power tool CRISPR that instructs harmful bacteria to shred their own genes to bits.
Two-dimensional quantum materials with novel electrical and magnetic attributes have been fabricated by physicists.
A first-of-its-kind nanoparticle vaccine immunotherapy has been developed that targets several different cancer types
It is the only vaccine developed against malaria that has successfully made it to the large scale testing.
