Scientists from the Dental Institute at King's College London have proven a way to stimulate the stem cells contained in the pulp of the tooth and generate new dentine in large cavities, potentially reducing the need for fillings or cements.
Physicists have performed a variation of the famous 200-year-old double-slit experiment that, for the first time, involves "exotic looped trajectories" of photons.
Of all the potentially apocalyptic technologies scientists have come up with in recent years, the gene drive is easily one of the most terrifying. But like most great risks, the gene drive also offers incredible reward.
Researchers have made the world's smallest radio receiver - built out of an assembly of atomic-scale defects in pink diamonds.
Scientists of the University Hospital Erlangen gained substantial knowledge of human dendritic cells, which might contribute to the development of immune therapies in the future.
More than 100,000 people participated in the BIG Bell Test, a global experiment to test the laws of quantum physics.
The CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing technique has been used in its first human trial. Scientists at Sichuan University in Chengdu, China began a trial last month to treat a lung cancer patient.
MIT researchers discover astonishing behavior of water confined in carbon nanotubes.
A team of researchers has now proposed an update to our current understanding of evolution - one that could completely shift our understanding of how species evolve.
This study is a preclinical proof of concept using a universal CRISPR/Cas9 gene targeting approach that could be applied to majority of the patients with a specific disease.
An entirely new kind of electrical generation system could create abundant clean energy and also dispose of nuclear waste.
South Africa on Wednesday begins a major clinical trial of an experimental vaccine against the AIDS virus, which scientists hope could be the "final nail in the coffin" for the disease.
The creation of a concrete-repairing bacteria by British students has inspired scientists to develop biocement, a material that genetically-engineered soil microbes would produce in response to changing pressures in soil to automatically reinforce the land under foundations.
Chinese scientists have become the first in the world to inject an adult human with cells that have been genetically edited using the revolutionary CRISPR/Cas9 technique.
A paralysed woman, who is "almost completely locked in," has become the first person to use a fully implanted brain-computer interface at home in day-to-day life without constant doctor supervision.
