Why neuron-like implants could offer a better way to treat Alzheimer’s disease or post-traumatic stress disorder, control prosthetics, or even enhance cognitive abilities. Recently, Charles…
A renegade star exploding in a distant galaxy has forced astronomers to set aside decades of research and focus on a new breed of supernova…
Cuts, scrapes, blisters, burns, splinters, and punctures — there are a number of ways our skin can be broken. Most treatments for skin wounds involve…
People have long dreamed of altering the Martian climate to make it livable for humans. Carl Sagan was the first outside the realm of science…
Scientists at Harvard University have developed a way to vastly accelerate single-cell sequencing, an advance that promises to give a major lift to biomedical genomics…
About 400 million years ago, vertebrates first began to crawl from the primordial seas onto land. Last week, thanks to a cutting-edge mathematical-analysis technique, a…
Why do our eyes tend to be drawn more to some shapes, colors, and silhouettes than others? For more than half a century, researchers have…
