First Nanotechnology Medicine Is Almost Here

The use of nanotechnology in medical procedures may just be a few short years away, according to new research.

Brain is ten times more active than previously measured

A new study could change scientists' understanding of how the brain works - and could lead to new approaches for treating neurological disorders and for developing computers that 'think' more like humans.

Novel antibiotic therapy overcomes deadly drug-resistant bacteria

Now, researchers in Cleveland, Ohio have taken a significant step toward defeating antibiotic-resistant infections by combining two different antibiotics that each block a different kind of drug-destroying enzyme secreted by bacteria.

It's official: time crystals are a new state of matter, and now we can create them

Two separate research teams managed to create what looked an awful lot like time crystals back in January, and now both experiments have successfully passed peer-review for the first time, putting the 'impossible' phenomenon squarely in the realm of reality.

The brain clearly retains its plasticity in space, learning and adapting

A new study provides some of the first data on the changes in brain structure during spaceflight. Scientists found decreases in some gray matter areas and increases in gray matter volume for regions of the brain that control leg movement.

Researchers store computer operating system and short movie on DNA

A pair of researchers at Columbia University and the New York Genome Center show that an algorithm designed for streaming video on a cellphone can unlock DNA's nearly full storage potential by squeezing more information into its four base nucleotides.

Nanoengineers 3-D print biomimetic blood vessel networks

Nanoengineers have 3-D printed a lifelike, functional blood vessel network that could pave the way toward artificial organs and regenerative therapies.

Scientists stimulate immune system, stop cancer growth

A chemical found in tumors may help stop tumor growth, according to a new study.

Stanford researchers develop brain-controlled typing for people with paralysis

A clinical research publication led by Stanford University investigators has demonstrated that a brain-to-computer hookup can enable people with paralysis to type via direct brain control at the highest speeds and accuracy levels reported to date.

NASA is sending a 'superbug' to the International Space Station

Sending an antibiotic-resistant superbug to a zero-gravity environment like the International Space Station will help NASA better understand how superbugs mutate to become resistant to available antibiotics.

Liquid Nanometal Printing: The Next Big Advance for Electronics

Two-dimensional (2D) semiconductors made of materials such as transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) are forming the future of electronic devices.

A group of scientists slowed down aging

A group of Russian and Swedish scientists just published a breakthrough paper. The scientists made an attempt to slow down ageing using a novel compound: artificial antioxidant SkQ1 precisely targeted into mitochondria.

Travelers who take antibiotics transport the most drug-resistant of superbugs.

Finnish researchers confirmed that those traveling to exotic locations often bring home drug-resistant bacteria in their intestines. But the people who took antibiotics while exploring those locales came back with the most extensively drug-resistant cargo.

Geneticists track the evolution of parenting

Researchers have confirmed that becoming a parent brings about more than just the obvious offspring - it also rewires the parents' brain.
