Science Ahead

X-ray cameras inevitably bring to mind the beautiful in human body in all its glorious nakedness. If that’s what you have in mind, read no further. But if guns and weapons are what you want your x-ray camera to detect ThruVision’s T5000 will...

Ever wondered how it would be like to stay in a world as shown in the Matrix, a world where the difference between human beings and machines is almost null. It seems like we are heading towards the best science fiction world of our imagination in...

Coking and crying almost become synonymous when the dish in question involves onion. This is all about change, albeit in some years to come. Scientists have used the wonders of Genetic modification to create a new race of “tear-free”...

There is some good news for the world of medicinal technology. Korean scientists have come up with a three-dimensional map that depicts a protein that is related to pneumonia. The development of this breakthrough map is expected to be of great help...

For long, animal rights activists had been demanding a ban on animal tests by pharmaceutical companies that they consider unethical. More often, the animal specimens are not exact replicas of the human biological features and drugs tested in labs on.

Call it ‘a landmark achievement' or a ‘stunning advance', however, you can't refute that the new development, occurred on the health front, is no less than a science fiction coming true. Hats off to the laborious task carried out by the experts...

It has always been a challenge for researchers to develop a material that can be used to bend optical signals around corners that could be used for developing integrated circuits, which can be used in more advanced telecommunication circuits and to..

Futuristic devices are the only hope for physically disabled people to lead a close to healthy life. Brain Computer Interfaces (BCI) through the non-interventional and interventional devices help physically challenged individuals to control artificial.

Stem cell research received a major boost, when scientists announced a major through. The researchers in Massacheusetts led by Robert Lanza, chief scientific officer at Advanced Cell Technology in Worcester, Mass announced that they have created...

Genetic Engineering can reverse evolutionary history of species. This has been proved recently in a work by US scientists who produced hybrids of blind cave fish with partial vision. Blind cavefish are descendents of surface fish with sight. They...
