People were able to calm activity in the amygdala after seeing visual cues that responded to their mental processes.
Surgeons at John Radcliffe hospital have performed eye-surgery using a small robot operated by joystick. The procedure is the first of its kind.
Technology for reading signals directly from the brain could provide a way for people with movement disabilities to communicate.
Carbon nanotubes are one of the most conductive materials ever discovered. Now, for the first time ever, scientists made a transistor using carbon nanotubes that beats silicon.
Researchers have developed a blood laser, using human blood and a fluorescent dye called indocyanine green (ICG), and it could help doctors search for tumours in the body.
Researchers working in Greenland have found traces of microbial life in our planet's most ancient rocks. The discovery pushes back the oldest evidence of life on Earth by about 220 million years, showing just how habitable our planet was during its earliest stages.
The first-ever growth of two-dimensional gallium nitride using graphene encapsulation could lead to applications in deep ultraviolet lasers, next-generation electronics and sensors.
Berkeley Lab researchers are using the science of the very small to help solve big challenges. Here are five projects, now underway which promise big results from the smallest of building blocks.
A team of researchers has recently made a critical breakthrough in the pursuit of flexible electronics. The team successfully developed a high-performance magnetic memory embedded on flexible plastic material.
Even after being stretched, twisted, and bent at extreme angles, the structures sprang back to their original forms within seconds of being heated to a certain temperature “sweet spot.”
We are entering an era of directed design in which we will expand the limited notion that biology is only the ‘study of life and living things’ and see biology as the ultimate distributed, manufacturing platform.
With a year of intense brain training, eight paraplegics regained partial sensation and voluntary control of their paralyzed body areas, despite having spinal cord injuries that were previously diagnosed as irreversible.
The US Navy is creating nanowires from one of the most renewable resources on the planet.
Researchers at Harvard Medical School have "radically rewritten" the genome of bacteria E. coli.
Engineers program human cells to store complex histories in their DNA.
