Gene editing has come further than ever before. That means we need to start thinking further ahead than ever before.
In the next decade, people who have suffered a spinal cord injury or stroke could have their mobility improved or even restored through a radically new technology: implantable devices that can send signals between regions of the brain or nervous system that have been disconnected due to injury.
Try to imagine a tiny ball sitting on one fingertip yet also on your shoulder at the same instant. Are you struggling? Most of us can’t conceive of an object being in two places at once – yet physicists have just demonstrated the effect over a distance of half a metre, smashing previous records.
A team of UCLA led scientists have conjured a new magnesium based metal with the help of nanoparticles and it just might find application in a variety of industries ranging from aeronautics and space to automotive and biomedical.
Scientists may have discovered a new particle in nature - or it could be a glitch.
We are experiencing a new wave of innovation in health care - one that promises to create the smartest, most connected, and most efficient health systems the world has ever seen.
Today, much has changed when it comes to metals and materials in general, but one thing remains the same: It's advancement in this industry that drives innovations and breakthroughs everywhere else.
Basic physics suggests that electrons are essentially immortal. A fascinating experiment recently failed to overthrow this fundamental assumption.
How tiny can a computer get and what can it do? Digital sensors are already traveling inside human bodies. Will shrinking sizes eventually do away with the bulky devices we use now?
New collisions could help explain what conditions were like up to a billionth of a second after the Big Bang
Scientists say 3D-printed structures loaded with embryonic stem cells could one day help doctors print out micro-organs for transplant patients.
Physicists have used photons to communicate between two electrons through 1.2 miles of fiber optic cable.
Magnetic sensors are in everything from home appliances to car-counters at the drive-through. A new technology promises to make them cheaper and smaller.
Quantum entanglement - the process though which particle's states become inextricably linked, despite being nowhere near each other, is usually carried out at incredibly low temperatures. But not any more: now physicists can perform the act at room temperature, which could have a profound effect on quantum computing and security.
Researchers from the Centre for Quantum Technologies (CQT) at the National University of Singapore and the University of Seville in Spain have reported the most extreme 'entanglement' between pairs of photons ever seen in the lab.
