Materials scientists at the University of Wisconsin-Madison recently announced a new way to harvest small amounts of waste energy, thus harnessing it to turn water into usable hydrogen fuel. The new process provides many benefits including simplicity, efficiency, and the ...

Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology have developed a more precise method of diagnosing food allergies and the extent of allergic reactions to these substances. Current allergy testing is unreliable, resulting in a large number of false positives. In ...

NASA announced that its Hubble Space Telescope has discovered the smallest object ever seen in visible light in the Kuiper Belt. It is a vast ring of icy debris, encircling the outer rim of the solar system just beyond Neptune, ...

Scientists at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Cambridge, Massachusetts and Boston University in Boston, Massachusetts have discovered the drug hydroxyurea causes bacteria to directly produce toxic molecules that kill off their generating organism. Similar processes could be used to ...

NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope is subject to very cold temperatures; in order to be able to capture the traces of infrared light generated by stars and galaxies billions of light years away, it is kept in cryogenic state. Therefore, ...

Queen Mary’s Particle Physics Research Centre has recently received access to data from the T2K experiment, which dealt with the Neutrino – one of the most baffling particle physicists explore. Using this data, a collaborative team of scientists hope to ...

Researchers at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in Livermore, California have developed a new device for detecting viruses and other microscopic organisms to aid in medical diagnostics, bioterrorism threats, and product safety assessments. Capable of identifying any virus or bacteria keyed ...

NASA astronomers are using an image of a galaxy named ESO 306-17 to learn more about the formation of star groups, galaxies and celestial events. Since this galaxy is relatively separated from other observable objects, researchers are able to see ...

An international team of researchers has recently announced the completion of the smallest transistor ever made, built out of a single phosphorus atom in silicon. Their new discovery is crucial for the development of future, compact computers, since the transistor ...

Researchers at Duke University and Emory University have recently inspected one of the newer applications for brain scans: improving marketing efforts. Using sophisticated imaging of the human brain while it is subject to commercial stimulus could provide significant data for ...
