Tiny 'xenobots' assembled from cells promise advances from drug delivery to toxic waste clean-up

Artificial 'skin' sensor could be the future of wearable and stretchable electronics, with applications in wound-healing, gaming, and more

Discovery of cellular mechanisms could open door to more effective anti-aging therapies

Researchers look at how the root system of two varieties of citrus responds to citrus greening disease

New research from Chalmers University of Technology and Umeå University, both in Sweden, show that the choice of preparation method influences the health effects of coffee

Insects in torrential rivers may inspire engineering solutions

Discovery promises to aid production of protein-based drugs, vaccines, other biomaterials

Method uses synthetic biology to detect dangerous levels of fluoride in drinking water

The method, called 'scPred,' has the potential to allow earlier detection of cancer, identify the cells at the root of autoimmune disease, and help personalize treatments to individual patients

With these models, researchers hope to gain a better understanding of how the brain and neural networks work
