Piercing the thick haze of gloom a new ray of hope has entered the lives of millions of people who are mentally retarded. Actually, in a major breakthrough researchers found that mentally retarded lab mice with Down syndrome got smarter after they were...
Now doctors may focus on eyes while treating fetal alcohol spectrum disorders because researchers have hurled a notion, according to which tracking simple eye movements could help diagnosing fetal spectrum disorders in a much better way. This problem...
The way neurodegenerative diseases are treated may be revolutionized as Laval University researchers in Canada comes up producing neurons from human skin stem cells.
This new finding is being looked upon as a major breakthrough in the field of stem...
A new study carried on wood frogs revealed that they are continuously undergoing freeze-thaw cycles. Kenneth Storey, a professor of biochemistry at Carleton University in Ottawa, Canada took the frogs through a series of freeze-thaw cycles and found no...
Hand held sensing devices are expected to see more development as researchers at the Duke University have developed a new molecular fishing technique which would bring all the change. Handheld devices can safely measurer concentrations of almost any...
Up till now you were testing solutions on traditional platforms but on Magnisense's MIAtek technology magnetic heads are used as markers rather than the traditional fluorescent or enzymatic methods which ensure that the biological target is identified...
There are various risks which might be passed with genes but don’t worry as all genetic changes are not deadly. In order to help medical people identify the mutations posing health risks researchers have gone ahead and developed a new computer tool...
A study on DNA “bar coding” put forth by the Canadian researchers is being anticipated to the unearthing of myriad number of new species. The study researchers foresee a kind of handheld device that would allow anyone to identify any species of plants or...
A new research led by scientists has put forth a ray of hope for the war amputees since they are anticipating a new technology that could help full limb generation. The researchers have successfully grown extra arms on salamanders with the help of an...
Hardly a day passes when we don’t come across new revelations on human brain. Researchers and neuroscientists recently revealed new facts about the Insula and devised a brain scan that could help read people’s intentions.
Now, researchers from the...
Japanese are good at their technology and keeping with their tradition, Japanese scientists have gone ahead and created a simple enzyme based bio fuel cell and the cell uses enzymes for catalyzing oxidation of D-fructose and reduction of dioxygen for...
Newly FDA-approved device has been found quite effective in restoring healthy vision, left impaired after stroke. Researchers put this interesting finding forward at the American Stroke Association’s International Stroke Conference 2007.
Before...
Neuroscientists have always remained busy with their experiments with human brain in the recent times. Now, a team of renowned neuroscientists have developed a powerful system that helps them to look deep inside the brain of a person and read their...
During recent times, new scientific facts from many scientific fields such as cosmology, physics, biology, artificial, and others have caused scientists to start questioning Darwinism's central theory of natural selection and studying the evidence...
