A new research by Newcastle University published in the journal PNAS has found that just like our skin over time, brain's folding is subject to aging via a loss of elasticity.
Imagine being in an accident that leaves you unable to feel any sensation in your arms and fingers. Now imagine regaining that sensation, a decade later, through a mind-controlled robotic arm that is directly connected to your brain.
Researchers at Cornell University have engineered a new magnetic material that could potentially make electronics 100 times "greener". Could this be the dawn of room-temperature superconductors?
For the first time, scientists have observed the formation of quasiparticles - a strange phenomenon observed in certain solids - in real time, something that physicists have been struggling to do for decades.
Three scientists working in the United States were honored for discoveries of "topological phase transitions and topological phases of matter".
Researchers from Cambridge, Oxford, and three other London universities may have found a cure for HIV, and a 44-year-old British man may be cured.
The 2016 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine has been awarded to Yoshinori Ohsumi for his discoveries of mechanisms for autophagy -- a fundamental process for degrading and recycling cellular components.
Scientists have designed a new generation of universal flu vaccines to protect against future global pandemics that could kill millions.
A new type of nanodevice for computer microprocessors is being developed that can mimic the functioning of a biological synapse -- the place where a signal passes from one nerve cell to another in the body.
Australian scientists have stopped light in a cloud of very cold atoms, a development that provides a essential building block for quantum computing.
A college student has developed a defense against antibiotic-resistant bacteria that literally rips them to shreds.
Researchers can create complex patterns in air and water using ultrasonic waves. By placing 3D printed plates in front of speakers, they can levitate water droplets and propel small objects.
A Duke team has mapped the distinct patterns of brain activity that correspond to seven different emotional states. The team says they can see various emotional states flickering across the human brain.
Scientists have shown they can teleport photons across a city, a development that has been hailed as a technological breakthrough.
New technique lets researchers visibly trace evolving lineages of bacteria.
