A Vodaphone Americas Foundation Wireless Innovation Project award winner may now help in the fight against multidrug-resistant strains of tuberculosis. CoolComply, a modified soft-drink cooler,…
Researchers are working on autonomous robot jellyfish that will conduct military surveillance, clean oil spills, and monitor the environment. The robotic creatures are called RoboJelly,…
The greatest mass extinction pulse was the Permian-Triassic extinction event, and it happened about 250 million years ago, nearly wiping out life on Earth. It…
While studying 27 patients with acute HIV infection, researchers at the University of North Carolina School of Medicine found that early treatment reduced the production…
NASA’s Fermi space telescope captured evidence of two gamma-ray beams that extend from the galactic center to a distance of 27,000 light-years above and below…
Rediscovered aerial photos of Greenland from the 1930s have allowed scientists to construct the history of the glacier retreat and advance in the area. The…
Scientists are planning to build a massive type of new power generator in southwestern Arizona, which relies on evaporative cooling to create wind. It should…
A better understanding of the variety of pore sizes and spatial patterns in strata would allow for more production from underground oil reservoirs and water…
Using nanoparticles that deliver a compound that specifically targets miR-155, biologists at Yale University were able to stop lymphoma in mice when injected directly into…
Scientists from the Carnegie Institution for Science discovered that a 4.5 billion-year-old meteorite, which is believed to be from Mars, contains reduced carbon molecules. While…

A team of scientists at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory have reported the first direct observation of “jump-to-contact” between nanoparticles, the critical step in oriented…
This new image of spiral galaxy ESO 498-G5 was captured by NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope and shows the disc-type bulges, or pseudobulges, that this type…
A new study from the Max Planck Institute overturns decades-old beliefs that most of the brain is hard-wired when one is a young adult. Working…
Engineers at MIT have created a computer program that can differentiate smiles of delight and frustration in human faces. Their goal is to help people…
Researchers from SLAC and Stanford have teamed with scientists at the Max Planck Institute to examine catalysts in an effort to find an efficient way…
Geneticists at Harvard Medical School have discovered how a deletion in one gene from one parent, called a “hemizygous” deletion, can contribute to cancer, suggesting…
In a newly published study, Yale biologists describe how dams built 300 years ago in Colonial times fundamentally changed the structure of the alewife, the…
