'Meta-Skin' Truly Cloaks Objects From Radar

Engineers created a flexible, stretchy metamaterial that suppresses radar, effectively cloaking whatever it covers.

Discovery of a 'neuronal big bang' in brain of newborns: New technology reveals genetic origin of newborn neurons in the brain

Our neurons are derived from progenitor cells, which are specialized stem cells that have the ability to divide to give rise to neurons. Today, neuroscientists shed light on the mechanisms that allow progenitors to generate neurons.

Crucial Superconducting Theory Confirmed

Superconductivity promises to revolutionize our world with efficient transport, cheaper electricity, and even hoverboards. Although it's still a long road to that technology, a crucial theory has just been confirmed that could help.

Glowing 'skin' could let robots get emotional

A new electroluminescent material stretches to more than six times its original size while still emitting light. One potential use: robot skin.

" Art makes us human, music makes us human, and I deeply feel that science makes us human "

Scientists turn skin cells into stem cells that kill brain cancer

Scientists have turned skin cells into stem cells that can hunt down and destroy the deadly remains inevitably left behind when a glioblastoma is removed.

Breakthrough: Quantum dot solids could revolutionize electronics

Scientists at Cornell University have made a discovery that rivals the single-crystal silicon wafer in significance.

DNA 'Trojan horse' smuggles drugs into resistant cancer cells

Drug-resistant leukemia cells absorb a drug and die, when the drug is hidden inside a capsule made of folded up DNA.

" “The most beautiful experience we can have is the mysterious. It is the fundamental emotion that stands at the cradle of true art and true science.” "

Quantum processes control accurately to several attoseconds

An international team of scientists including MSU physicists succeeded in proving that control over quantum processes accurately to several attoseconds (one billionth of a billionth of a second) is possible. The details of the experiment are described in an article published in the latest issue of Nature Photonics.

'Dial' on astrocytes means brain cells can be adjusted

A dial-like structure found on brain cells called astrocytes means they are "actually incredibly flexible and potentially modifiable," says Keith Murai.

The Experiment That Will Allow Humans to "See" Quantum Entanglement

We've puzzled over the nature of entanglement for almost a century. Now physicists have devised a way for us to "see" it for the first time.

The universe's primordial soup flowing at CERN

Researchers have recreated the universe's primordial soup in miniature format by colliding lead atoms with extremely high energy in the 27 km long particle accelerator, the LHC at CERN in Geneva.
