Scientists at the Newcastle University in the U.K. have successfully implanted embryo nucleuses, containing DNA from a mother and a father, into donor eggs. Although the nucleuses of the donor eggs had been removed, they still contained healthy mitochondria, which ...

Utilizing a technique that combines low temperature measurements and theoretical calculations, Hebrew University of Jerusalem scientists have revealed for the first time the electronic structure of single DNA molecules. This development could advance the creation of future DNA based computers ...

Researchers from the Argonne National Laboratory have developed an infrared camera that can take a thermal image of the head and neck area of cancer patients. The images will help medical staff predict which patients are likely to develop severe ...

Over the centuries many sailors described seeing huge ocean waves, monsters of the seas that towered to heights of 30 meters and more. Those Rogue Waves, as they were called, appeared suddenly and rammed into the unfortunate vessel. Scientists tended ...

Combining 39 individual frames taken over 11 hours of exposure time, NASA astronomers have created an ultraviolet mosaic of the nearby “Triangulum Galaxy.” This is the most detailed ultraviolet image of an entire galaxy ever taken. The images were captured ...

Scientists from the University of Wisconsin-Madison have successfully mutated the Ebola virus to create a safe virus strain that can reproduce only in certain engineered cells. The mutated form of the virus can be used to further study the deadly ...

Observations from NASA’s Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer (RXTE) have revealed an important clue regarding the life cycle of neutron stars. The youngest known pulsing neutron star, PSR J1846-0258, located in the constellation Aquila, has been observed to produce magnetar-like X-ray ...

Researchers at the University of Copenhagen and the University of Aarhus in Denmark can now look into the eyes of the dead and determine, with relatively high precision, when they were born. This is done using a radiocarbon dating method ...

Researchers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have developed a therapeutic strategy against breast cancer, using chemotherapy and microwave energy. The method involves heating the cancer cells with special radar while conducting traditional chemotherapy treatment. This combination of microwave-generated ...

Researchers from the Northwestern University’s McCormick School of Engineering and Applied Science, teamed up with Boise State University Professor Peter Mullner to create a foam from a nickel-manganese-gallium alloy (Ni-Mn-Ga). This special foam changes shape when exposed to a magnetic ...
