New software will allow creation of more complex devices. Someday, scientists believe, tiny DNA-based robots and other nanodevices will deliver medicine inside our bodies, detect…
Everything is a canvas for senior Jessica Xu. A prolific artist, Xu has explored a number of media including pen and ink, colored pencil, and…
New study suggests need to reconsider current disinfection, sanitation and hygiene practices. Clusters of a virus known to cause stomach flu are resistant to detergent…
Lehigh researchers quantify the specific interaction between the spike protein of SARS-CoV-2 — the virus that causes COVID-19 — with the ACE2 receptors in human…
New, reversible CRISPR method can control gene expression while leaving underlying DNA sequence unchanged. Over the past decade, the CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing system has revolutionized…
Sutures are used to close wounds and speed up the natural healing process, but they can also complicate matters by causing damage to soft tissues…
The veiny skeleton of a spinach leaf shows for the first time it can support the growth of artificial meat, a Boston College researcher reports….
Findings debunk dozens of prominent published papers claiming to read minds with EEG. Is it possible to read a person’s mind by analyzing the electric…
The field test, called NIRVANA, can simultaneously detect and sequence SARS-CoV-2, influenza and other viruses. Clinicians using a new viral screening test can not only…
A significant advance in optical tweezer technology, developed by researchers at the UTS Institute for Biomedical Materials and Devices, will help boost biomedical research. Much…
A hydrogel, a type of soft matter, developed at Hokkaido University successfully reverted cancer cells back to cancer stem cells within 24 hours, in six…
Delivering vaccines directly to the lungs can boost immune responses to respiratory infections or lung cancer, study finds. Many viruses infect their hosts through mucosal…
A study led by researchers at the University of California San Diego Jacobs School of Engineering provides new insights for developing therapies for muscle disease,…
Electrical impulses may help vessels more quickly get healing agents to injuries. Electric stimulation may be able to help blood vessels carry white blood cells…
Proteins choreograph the infinitesimal dance of living cells and functional biomaterials. An interdisciplinary research team at Lehigh University has unraveled how functional biomaterials rely upon…
Process paves a road to safe, ethical, and fast drug manufacturing. Envisioning an animal-free drug supply, scientists have — for the first time — reprogrammed…
The treatment uses a type of CRISPR to target viral RNA and appears to stop replication of both viruses in the lungs. With a relatively…
