Just shy of 10 years after scientists first made embryonic-like stem cells from adult cells, another team finds a totally different way to do it.
In the not too distant future, we could see cyborg plants that tell us when they need more water, what chemicals they’ve been exposed to, and what parasites are eating their roots.
After a few days of bouncing between booths and events during CES, I was more than happy to retreat from the chaotic show floor to a quiet hotel suite to demo Avegant's innovative new headset.
Without recognising it, Oxford scientists appear to have located the consience
I'm not sure if this tech has been posted here so because of all the cold weather I thought I would. It is basically a "free energy" device.
After eight hours underwater at a depth of 1,000 feet, a diver must spend 10 days in a decompression chamber. Now there’s a better solution: Nuytco’s Exosuit.
100 percent of the leeches also survived extreme cold (-130°F) for nine months!
Since Earth is the only known inhabited planet and we happen to live here, it’s only natural to regard it as the ideal place for life to exist, and to assume that another life-bearing planet would be fairly similar.
How do you take a photo of a mountain or coastline that doesn’t feel like a hackneyed homage to Ansel Adams?
Henry Gustav Molaison is one of the most famous patients in the annals of brain research.
Nature spent millions of years perfecting flapping-wing flight. Now engineers can reproduce it with machines.

Remember pH from high-school chemistry class? If you don’t, here’s the tl;dr version. The pH scale goes from 0 to 14. Water sits in the middle with a neutral 7; anything below that is acidic and anything above is basic or alkaline. Human skin needs t
The unconscious pig is about to become a surrogate mother - and the embryos she is now carrying are very special. They are chimeric, that is, they carry genetic material from two different species.
A recent video posted to LiveLeak shows a man, who lost his right hand in a car accident last year, with a Touch Bionics i-limb ultra prosthetic hand.
