Families Finally Hear From Completely Paralyzed Patients Via New Mind-Reading Device

The system, a portable brain-machine interface, translates brain activity into simple yes or no answers to questions with around 70 percent accuracy.

Researchers create 3-D beating heart

Scientists have now found a way to create 3-D heart tissue that beats in synchronized harmony that will lead to better understanding of cardiac health and improved treatments.

Scientists develop 'lab on a chip' that costs 1 cent to make

Microfluidics, electronics and inkjet technology underlie a newly developed all-in-one biochip that can analyze cells for research and clinical applications.

Indian scientists show a breakdown of the Standard Model

By comparing standard theory and experiment, they show a discrepancy which can indicate new physics.

Scientists unveil new form of matter: Time crystals

Two teams built a time crystal, the first examples of a non-equilibrium form of matter.

It's real: Metallic hydrogen has been created for the first time

More than 80 years after it was first predicted, physicists have created metallic hydrogen - a mysterious form of hydrogen that could be capable of superconducting electricity without resistance at room temperature.

A Groundbreaking Gene-Editing Therapy Eliminated Cancer in Two Infants

Two infants diagnosed with an aggressive and previously incurable form of leukemia are now in remission, after British doctors say they cured the babies using so-called "designer cells".

Scientists make a viable semi-synthetic organism

The lifeform holds on to its artificial genetic letters without a hitch.

Chan Zuckerberg Initiative acquires Meta's scientific search engine

Meta's search platform uses machine intelligence to analyze the number and quality of citations in medical journals and research papers, and then sorts them into the largest knowledge graph of its kind.

Soft robot helps the heart beat

A customizable soft robot that fits around a heart and helps it beat has now been developed by researchers, potentially opening new treatment options for people suffering from heart failure.

Graphene's sleeping superconductivity awakens

The intrinsic ability of graphene to superconduct has been activated for the first time. This further widens the potential of graphene as a material that could be used in fields such as energy storage, high-speed computing, and molecular electronics.

Cellular Reprogramming Rejuvenates Old Mice and Boosts Lifespans 30%

Using a process designed to “reprogram” normal adult cells into pluripotent stem cells researchers have managed to boost the life spans of mice by up to 30% and rejuvenate some of their tissues.

Scientists Can Now Sequence DNA With a Smartphone

It was not so long ago that sequencing even tiny snippets of DNA was a costly, cumbersome process that required access to a state-the-art lab. Today, we are inching close to putting a DNA sequencer in every pocket.

A Mind-Boggling Carbon Deposit Was Just Discovered in the Congo

A newly-discovered peatland in the Congo Basin of central Africa contains an estimated 30.6 billion tons of carbon in its waterlogged soils - equivalent to three times the total annual carbon emissions of every human being alive today.

Seeing the quantum future, literally

Scientists have demonstrated the ability to 'see' the future of quantum systems and used that knowledge to preempt their demise, in a major achievement that could help bring the strange and powerful world of quantum technology closer to reality.
