Former children's television host and scientist Bill Nye recently captured national media attention when he blasted Americans who believe in creationism and reject Darwin's theory of evolution.
The results of this major, long-awaited study, which began in 1987, are finally in. But it did not bring the vindication calorie restriction enthusiasts had anticipated. It turns out the skinny monkeys did not live any longer than those kept at more
Based on a review and analysis of previous clinical trials including more than 68,000 participants, Greek researchers whose report appeared in the Journal of the American Medical Association said the fatty acids have no impact on overall death rates,
Last July, the European Organization for Nuclear Research, commonly known as CERN, announced that it had finally discovered the elusive Higgs boson – or at least, a particle that matches the predictions of what the Higgs boson should look like.
Telegraph UK = Lab results show a virus is more effective than drugs at killing cancer tumors in animals. However, adenovirus serotype 5 is a common virus in which we have achieved transcriptional targeting by replacing an endogenous viral promoter s
George's idea is to bring in sections of DNA from exotic organisms or genes that are rare for humans to enable all people to have desired genetic capabilities. He describes capabilities such as immunity to all viruses and cellular immunity to radiat
They found that coconut oil, once ingested, should be able to halt the growth of most strains of Streptococcus bacteria, including Streptococcus mutans. This type of bacteria is a primary cause of cavities because it produces tooth-damaging acid.
250 years of organic chemical knowledge into one giant computer network -- a chemical Google on steroids. This “immortal chemist” will never retire and take away its k
We can be non-violent — maybe even anti-war? — and still be deeply impressed by the science and technology of weapons.
Japanese researchers have toppled a 19-year-old record for the deepest passage into the floor of the world, reaching 2,466 meters (about 8,024 feet) as of today. That's about 2,000 feet deeper than the lowest part of the Grand Canyon, from rim to flo
Apple has patented a piece of technology which would allow government and police to block transmission of information, including video and photographs, from any public gathering or venue they deem “sensitive”, and “protected from externalities.”
Birthmarks, be damned: the FBI has officially started rolling out a state-of-the-art face recognition project that will assist in their effort to accumulate and archive information about each and every American at a cost of a billion dollars.
Businesses are adapting their R&D spending to the idea that innovation can come from anywhere.
Three major seed producers are working on drought-resistant crops. The conditions this summer are providing a stern test.
Why are all these world records for quantum teleportation so important?
In conjunction with the continuing intuition research at the Institute of HeartMath, IHM Research Center Director Rollin McCraty said recently the findings of a new study further documents the ability of humans to experience intuition, also known as
A planetary shift is under way. Many sense this shift internally and we perceive that time is accelerating. It’s hard to keep up.
simple vitamin B3, also known as nicotinamide (NAM), taken in high doses may effectively thwart staph and other potentially life-threatening infections without the need for drugs.
Scientists on the Florida campus of The Scripps Research Institute have designed a compound that shows promise as a potential therapy for one of the diseases closely linked to fragile X syndrome
Longer resuscitation efforts improve the chances of survival in patients who suffer cardiac arrest in a hospital, new research contends.
Science can make blind mice see again and deaf mice hear — now scent-deprived mice can sniff their surroundings and smell for the first time, after a new gene therapy.
Never mind the Jose Canseco method for dream control. MIT researchers have successfully reached inside the brains of rats and manipulated their dreams using an audio cue conditioned into them during the previous day.
Graphene, a single layer of the common graphite, is a largely overlooked allotrope of carbon as compared to the more popular ‘eternal’ diamonds
A carbon nanotube (CNT) is a tubular structure made of carbon atoms, having diameter of nanometer order but length in micrometers.
Platinum catalysts in fuel cells are too expensive for large-scale production. Stanford scientists have developed a technique that could make carbon nanotubes an attractive, low-cost alternative.
The roundest, most symmetrical large molecule found so far, buckminsterfullerene, continues to astonish with one amazing property after another.
A few years ago, scientists made an exciting breakthrough that could revolutionize the world of science, with particular emphasis on chemistry.
For the first time ever, scientists have given a previously blind woman sight by way of a bionic eye.
Chinese researchers have unveiled a system that allows users to control drones with their thoughts.
The new device could transmit a user-specific ID through the skin.
