Researchers store computer operating system and short movie on DNA

A pair of researchers at Columbia University and the New York Genome Center show that an algorithm designed for streaming video on a cellphone can unlock DNA's nearly full storage potential by squeezing more information into its four base nucleotides.

Nanoengineers 3-D print biomimetic blood vessel networks

Nanoengineers have 3-D printed a lifelike, functional blood vessel network that could pave the way toward artificial organs and regenerative therapies.

Scientists stimulate immune system, stop cancer growth

A chemical found in tumors may help stop tumor growth, according to a new study.

Stanford researchers develop brain-controlled typing for people with paralysis

A clinical research publication led by Stanford University investigators has demonstrated that a brain-to-computer hookup can enable people with paralysis to type via direct brain control at the highest speeds and accuracy levels reported to date.

NASA is sending a 'superbug' to the International Space Station

Sending an antibiotic-resistant superbug to a zero-gravity environment like the International Space Station will help NASA better understand how superbugs mutate to become resistant to available antibiotics.

Liquid Nanometal Printing: The Next Big Advance for Electronics

Two-dimensional (2D) semiconductors made of materials such as transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) are forming the future of electronic devices.

A group of scientists slowed down aging

A group of Russian and Swedish scientists just published a breakthrough paper. The scientists made an attempt to slow down ageing using a novel compound: artificial antioxidant SkQ1 precisely targeted into mitochondria.

Travelers who take antibiotics transport the most drug-resistant of superbugs.

Finnish researchers confirmed that those traveling to exotic locations often bring home drug-resistant bacteria in their intestines. But the people who took antibiotics while exploring those locales came back with the most extensively drug-resistant cargo.

Geneticists track the evolution of parenting

Researchers have confirmed that becoming a parent brings about more than just the obvious offspring - it also rewires the parents' brain.

Families Finally Hear From Completely Paralyzed Patients Via New Mind-Reading Device

The system, a portable brain-machine interface, translates brain activity into simple yes or no answers to questions with around 70 percent accuracy.

Researchers create 3-D beating heart

Scientists have now found a way to create 3-D heart tissue that beats in synchronized harmony that will lead to better understanding of cardiac health and improved treatments.

Scientists develop 'lab on a chip' that costs 1 cent to make

Microfluidics, electronics and inkjet technology underlie a newly developed all-in-one biochip that can analyze cells for research and clinical applications.

Indian scientists show a breakdown of the Standard Model

By comparing standard theory and experiment, they show a discrepancy which can indicate new physics.
