Researchers at the Max Planck Institute for Human Cognitive and Brain Sciences in Leipzig, Germany have found a genetic factor that affects our ability to learn from our errors. The scientists demonstrated that men carrying the A1 mutation, which reduces ...

The Israeli company “StimuHeal” has introduced a series of products developed to assist the human body’s mechanisms in healing damaged tissues. These devices, each of which was designed to focus on a specific problem, are based on different patterns of ...

The adiabatic computation stresses the deep and mysterious connection between physics and mathematics. Using a principle of quantum mechanics we try to find a shortcut to solutions of mathematical problems. It is not clear why we can use physics to ...

Researchers from the University of Kentucky recently managed to genetically engineer a cancer resistant mouse. The team, headed by Professor Vivek Rangnekar, engineered the mouse so that a certain part of the Par-4 gene would be expressed in its cells, ...

A research group from Bristol has found that a naturally occurring protein, known as nerve growth factor, can dramatically improve the survival of heart cells and reduce heart cell damage following a heart attack in mice. The researchers hope that ...

A team of researchers from the University of California in Los Angeles (UCLA) has developed a method to distinguish between metastatic cancer cells and normal cells. The method utilizes an atomic force microscope (AFM) to measure the softness of a ...

A Princeton University research team has recently created an easy-to-produce material that has the rare ability to bend light in the opposite direction from all naturally occurring materials. This new substance belongs to the relatively new class of materials called ...

12 months have gone by, and TFOT continues the tradition of presenting its readers with a summary of the passing year’s most remarkable discoveries, innovations, research, and applications in science, medicine, and space exploration. The Mini-Mag Orion interstellar concept (Credit: ...

This past November, the NASA-funded Catalina Sky Survey near Tucson, Arizona discovered an asteroid receding from the Earth, heading towards Mars with. Astronomers estimate there is a one in 25 (four percent) chance of that this asteroid will directly hit ...

Two Professors at the Hadassah University Hospital in Jerusalem have succeeded in improving the condition of MS and ALS patients by using stem cells transplants. The researchers extracted stem cells from each patient’s bone marrow, cultured them, and then injected ...
