Yet another new breakthrough in the happening world of micron-level machine-designing - yes, it’s a meticulous converging of microorganisms with MEMS (Microelectromechanical Systems). Scientists inspired by a tiny brown worm’s - single-celled...
Researchers have gained success in weighing a single living cell with utmost precision. Earlier this had not been possible since for measuring cell it had to be dried which caused the cell to die. Now researchers will be able to weigh samples as light...
Do you know, mosquito genes can activate in animals in response to climate change? Researchers for the first time have developed a chromosomal map revealing regions of chromosomes that activate in animals as a response to climate change. The...
There are some organic molecules that can mimic metals, and hence can provide a solution to the expensive methods of storing hydrogen to power vehicles. But, it is only recently, scientists have identified the molecules and thought to go innovative...
One of the major subjects that have caught everyone’s attention in medical science is the development of artificial organs. An artificial organ is a man-made organ that is implanted in human body to replace its natural counterpart. The pace, at...
No doubt America cares about its troops who are in various remote areas of world. I am talking about American troops in Iraq and other countries in the world. NASA has successfully made a portable Robot that can perform surgery. This robotic surgeon is...
For the first time in medical history, a woman in Montreal has frozen 21 of her eggs so that her six year old daughter having Turners syndrome could use them in future.
Turner's syndrome occurs in about one out of every 2,500 girls, according to...
German researchers say they've found a way to create early-stage sperm cells from human bone marrow.
The findings will help researchers understand more about how sperm cells are created, the report said. If researchers succeeded in turning the...
In a major discovery, scientists found that blocking certain genes in cancer cells, can control the impact of chemotherapy.
The tests conducted by researchers of the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Centre, proved this fact. The tests...
Physicists have successfully distributed 'entanglement' for the first time in a way that could lead to long-distance quantum communications. It could also lead to scalable quantum networks and even a quantum internet.
Caltech Valentine Professor of...
A new type of bioplastic has been designed, made from plant-based material and carbon fibre. It is not the only reason for getting catapulted to the headline. Interestingly, it can conduct heat higher than that of what stainless steel can. The new...
Some South Korean scientists have claimed to have created the first cloned wolves.
The claim will now be investigated by officials at the team’s university.
The team which has made the claim is suspected to have used incorrect data to inflate...
Scientists have figured out some complex mathematical equations for making objects invisible.
A group of Engineers have used calculations from previous research to design a device that can one day make objects as big as an airplane simply...
You must have seen Gentian which is a decorative plant producing blue flowers and is also deployed as an antiseptic for treatment of burns besides finding a place in flower arrangements. In case you are bored by its natural blue color then how about a...
