Scientists have discovered 40 new genes that appear to be linked to intelligence. The find could help to understand how the brain develops key functions associated with thinking.
The first set of results are in -- no dark matter proof yet. But for the research team, the best news is that the machine actually works.
A newly-developed ultra-thin material tricks the human eye into perceiving highly detailed 3D images without the need for special glasses.
Physicists at CERN have reported an unexplained phenomenon in their giant ion collider device - for the first time ever, particles called 'strange hadrons' have been observed in rare proton collisions.
Scientists at the University of Birmingham have developed a type of eye drop which could potentially revolutionize the treatment of one of the leading causes of blindness.
A team of Stanford University engineers are exploring specialized materials to bring concept of quantum computing closer to reality.
One new drug coming to market can take 1,000 people, 12-15 years, and up to $1.6 billion. An artificial intelligence system AtomWise aims to streamline the initial phase of drug discovery.
Scientists are working on self-healing materials like asphalt and concrete, which could offer an answer to failing infrastructure.
Engineers at CERN took magnets originally designed for the LHC, combined them with X-ray focusing technology originally designed for space, and built a device that could spot axions arriving here from the Sun.
A synthetic, soft tissue retina could offer fresh hope to visually impaired people. Until now, all artificial retinal research has used only rigid, hard materials.
Scientists have demonstrated that HIV-1 replication can be completely shut down and the virus eliminated from infected cells in animals with a powerful gene editing technology.
This week, a team of US researchers announced the successful production of a lab-grown neuron that could help heal spinal cord injuries by reestablishing the connection between brain and muscle.
An Italian neuroscientist who says he’s planning to perform the world’s first head transplant later this year has told a German magazine that he intends to thaw a cryogenically preserved brain and transplant it in a donor body within three years.
Teams of scientists are now working on a truly creative strategy: a pill carrying the genome-editing power tool CRISPR that instructs harmful bacteria to shred their own genes to bits.
Two-dimensional quantum materials with novel electrical and magnetic attributes have been fabricated by physicists.
