A company called Rayfish Footwear claims to bring consumers shoes made out of genetically engineered stingrays. The resulting shoes look very distinctive, but there has…
An international team working to understand invisibility and extend its possible applications has now devised an amplifier, “Schrödinger’s hat,” that can boost light, sound or…
Scientists at the Max Planck Institute believe that they now know where the methane on Mars is originating from. In their published work, the scientists…
Observed for the first time in neurons, biologists from Princeton University documented common strains of the herpes virus indirectly taking control of a cell’s mitochondria….
The smallest five-ringed structure possible is about 100,000 times thinner than a human hair, and it was created by a collaboration between the Royal Society…
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…
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…
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…
New research from the Harvard Medical School and the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute examines why a diet high in fat and low in carbohydrates can reduce…
By using a design that incorporates a small, powerful magnet surrounded by a coil of wire that’s attached to a piston inside a drug ampoule,…
New research from Brown University shows that the physical properties of adult stem cells derived from fat, such as liposuction waste, can predict whether they…
To better understand how to protect coral reefs, a team of microbiologists are investigating how environmental changes, such as oxygen depletion and ocean acidification, create…
Synthetic biologists have been able to encode a kind of rewritable memory directly into DNA, after seeking ways to use biological data-storage systems effectively. This…
