Sometimes, words just complicate things. What if our brains could communicate directly with each other, bypassing the need for language?
Cyborg cockroaches may soon help with disaster recovery
Developed at NYU Langone Medical Center, the “telomerator” reshapes synthetic yeast chromosome into more flexible, realistic form, redefining what geneticists can build.
University of Iowa study showed more trees did not correspond with more insects.
Plants rely on sunlight to make their food, but they also need protection from its harmful rays, just like humans do. Recently, scientists discovered a group of molecules in plants that shields them from sun damage.
Mimicking natural evolution in a test tube, scientists at The Scripps Research Institute (TSRI) have devised an enzyme with a unique property that might have been crucial to the origin of life on Earth.
Bats could be more flexible in their echolocation behaviour than previously thought, according to a new study into the foraging techniques of the desert long-eared bat by researchers at the University of Bristol.
Computer-mediated communication between humans and dogs opens the door to new avenues for training and interpreting dogs' behavior
The team used the help of a tiny, 3D-printed harness to keep the spiders in place while conducting their experiments.
Probes have potential to map neural activity in the human brain.
How did life originate? And can scientists create life? These questions not only occupy the minds of scientists interested in the origin of life, but also researchers working with technology of the future. If we can create artificial living systems, we may not only understand the origin of life - we can also revolutionize the future of technology.
