Trying to pick up faint microscopic signals is no easy task.  As a result, researchers find it difficult to catch small things happening in cells or other materials. Boston University is creating advanced techniques to make microscopes…

Researchers from Tufts University and Harvard University’s Wyss Institute created tiny biological robots called Anthrobots from human tracheal cells. In a lab dish, the robots move across a surface and encourage the growth of neurons across…

According to a new study published in Nature Synthesis, a robot chemist powered by AI could solve the challenge of delivering oxygen to humans on Mars before humans could. The researchers found that an AI robot could solve how to cook up…

This sounds like something out of the 60s. Could sensing ambient magnetic fields change how we see the world? How would we speak if we could see the physiological effects our words had on others? Would abstract art based on human brain…

International researchers have developed a handheld, non-invasive device that detects Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease biomarkers. The biosensor delivers results wirelessly to a laptop or smartphone. The team presented their findings in…

ID Crypt Global just released a survey of 1,300 UK parents, showing that 23% say their child is addicted to gaming. It's not only the time spent playing that's concerning; they report that their child becomes annoyed, frustrated, or angry…
