X) A genetically engineered tissue that can be electrically excited by light has been developed by researchers in the US. The researchers edited the cells’ genomes so that the cells...
The team constructed this map to make one of the most precise measurements yet of the dark energy currently driving the accelerated expansion of the Universe. This map has allowed us...
The researchers found that, contrary to previous understanding, the first physiological sign of Alzheimer’s disease is a decrease in blood flow in the brain. LOAD is the most common ...
An international team of astronomers including researchers from the University of British Columbia has discovered a new dwarf planet orbiting in the disk of small icy worlds beyond N...
Why use Git at all? Now you have three versions; the merged copy that you both worked on, the version you changed, and the version your partner has changed. Who should use Git? When ...
He was studying an important pathway in mammalian reproductive tissues when he became interested in Macrostomum. This and other regenerating flatworms have the same kind of pathway o...
Now, scientists at UCLA have used a powerful microscope to image the three-dimensional positions of individual atoms to a precision of 19 trillionths of a meter, which is several tim...

A quick method for making accurate, virtual universes to help understand the effects of dark matter and dark energy has been developed by UCL and CEFCA scientists. We end up needing ...
The World Economic Forum’s annual list of emerging technologies, released this summer, include both familiar and unfamiliar discoveries. A diverse range of breakthrough technologies,...
It’s a completely new platform that can be adapted to many kinds of uses, says John Brennan, director of McMaster’s Biointerfaces Insitute and co-author of a paper in the journal Nat...

Three leading researchers discuss how DNA may be used as a building material to help us develop a new generation of medicines, build electronic devices and probe the mysteries of pro...
Scientists from Karolinska Institutet, Sweden, have discovered how the brain controls our breathing in response to changing oxygen and carbon dioxide levels in the blood. Without an ...

Of all the icy moons in the Solar System, Saturn’s moon Enceladus is probably the ‘hottest’ when measured for its potential to host life. Buried beneath its icy crust is a global oce...
Every aspect of the growing environment can be regulated – temperature, atmosphere, water and light – and two centrifuges simulate gravity up to twice Earth’s level to compare how pl...
A University of Kansas study shows that the communication between the brain and quadriceps muscles of people who take part in endurance training, such as running long distances, is d...
A team of scientists from the Max Planck Institute for Polymer Research (MPI-P) in Mainz, Germany and FOM Institute AMOLF in the Netherlands has characterized the local structural dy...
They are part of a campaign to create high-resolution maps of the giant planet to inform the work to be undertaken by Juno over the following months, helping astronomers to better un...
In particular, we wanted to understand the ability of a specific type of cell in the brain, termed interneurons, to modulate brain network activity to maintain a balance in brain sig...
The projections for women show a similar pattern, in that life expectancy gains have been larger for higher earners than lower earners. The simulation found that for men born in 1930...
Genetically modified organisms may usually be thought of as human creations, but scientists now find that monarch butterflies, silkworms, and many other butterflies and moths natural...
