Often capricious and finicky by nature; Atoms, photons, and other quantum particles are very rarely at a standstill, they often collide with others of their kind. But if such particles can be individually corralled and controlled in large…

Developed by scientists at MIT, Harvard University, and Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH), a new imaging technique aims to illuminate cellular structures in deep tissue and other dense and opaque materials. Their method uses…

A new breathing apparatus concept has emerged because of NASA’s unique mission requirements, to help with hazardous ground operations and rescue situations. NASA and the Office of Mine Safety and Health Research (OMSHR) have been trying…

Genetic markers in malaria parasites linked with resistance to the anti-malarial drug piperaquine have been discovered by scientists at the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute and their collaborators. Reported in Lancet Infectious Diseases,…

Rutgers researcher Ashutosh Goel has discovered ways to immobilize nuclear waste – the offshoot of decades of nuclear weapons production – in glass and ceramics, to keep it from harming people and the environment. Goel, an Assistant…

A freshwater zebrafish's spinal cord can heal completely after being severed, a paralyzing and often fatal injury for humans. While watching these fish repair their own spinal cord injuries, Duke University scientists have found a…

Dr. Bruce Lee, an Assistant Professor of biomedical engineering at Michigan Technological University, is using a protein produced by mussels to create a reversible synthetic glue that not only can bond securely underwater—but also may…

Magnetic ink has been developed, that can be used to make self-healing batteries, electrochemical sensors and wearable, textile-based electrical circuits. A team of engineers at the University of California San Diego are behind the…

NASA’s Curiosity rover has confirmed that laser-zapping of a globular, golf-ball-size object on Mars is an iron-nickel meteorite fallen from the Red Planet’s sky. Iron-nickel meteorites are a common class of space rocks found on Earth,…

A new experimental treatment against Alzheimer's has proved to be promising and free of harmful side effects, researchers in the United States reported Wednesday. The research published in the journal Science Translational Medicine on…

Put some metal scraps from the junkyard in a glass jar with a common household chemical; and, voilà, you have a high-performance battery. "Imagine that the tons of metal waste discarded every year could be used to provide energy storage…

Scientists at The University of Manchester have shown for the first time that if the brain is 'tuned-in' to a particular frequency, pain can be alleviated. Chronic pain- pain which lasts for more than six months - is a real problem for…

The shredded remains of a galaxy that passed through a larger galaxy, leaving only the smaller galaxy's nearly-naked supermassive black hole to emerge and speed away at more than 2,000 miles per second has been found by astronomers using…

Wastewater treatment plants across the United States may one day turn ordinary sewage into biocrude oil, thanks to new research at the Department of Energy's Pacific Northwest National Laboratory. The technology, hydrothermal…
