Using an MRI to 'Read Minds'
The idea that mind-reading might someday be possible is closer to reality thanks to a new study from D'Or Institute for Research and Education.
New Hair Loss Treatment for Mice...People, Too?
Researchers have developed a method for mass preparation of hair follicle germs, which can be used to regenerate scalp-based hair follicles.
Researchers Solve Decades-Long Chemistry Riddle and New Doors Open in Drug Development
A team of researchers from Trinity College Dublin’s School of Chemistry has discovered a method that solved this long-standing problem.
Computer Models Used to Discover How to Kill Deadly Bacteria Spores
Researchers from USC Viterbi School of Engineering have finally figured out bacteria behaviors using computer models.
Nanofoam Catalysts Could Make Hydrogen Energy Viable for Large Applications
Researchers from WSU have developed a way to generate hydrogen from water more efficiently.
Moon Covered With 400,000 Pounds of Human Trash
Human trash, leftover from both manned and unmanned visits to the moon, has accumulated on the moon's surface in excess of 400,000 pounds in volume.
Small ‘Scale’ Advance for Medical and Electronics Materials
Synthetic scales that attach to soft materials could be used for medical implant, underwater adhesive and flexible electronics applications.
Medical Clad Composite Wire Ideal for Implantables
The composite wire combines two or three metals on the interior and exterior, which are metallurgically bonded to achieve properties that are not available in a single alloy.
The Fight Against Tooth Decay Gets New Ally in "Smart" Material
Getting a filling is not always a quick solution for cavities. In fact, that solution can often result in additional problems for the patient with bacteria digging under these fillings and causing new cavities.
Google Flights Using Machine Learning to Predict Flight Delays
Tired of wasting time in airports waiting on flights that never seem to be on time? A new feature from Google Flights may be able to predict flight delays with some accuracy.
Bananas, Grapes Among Worst Food Waste Culprits
To tackle the issue of food waste, everyone — from government agencies to citizens — has a role to play. And the retail industry is not exempt despite wasting less food than goes wasted in households. As such, researchers from Karlstad University have conducted research to determine what foods account for those wasted most by retailers
Researchers Use Oxygen-filled Microbubbles to Weaken Tumors' Resistance to Radiation
A research team discovered that injecting breast cancer cells in the body with microbubbles that are filled with oxygen forces the tumors to become more sensitive to radiation therapy.
Airplane May Get Second Life as a Library
After narrowly escaping disaster earlier this month, a Pegasus Airlines’ Boeing 737-800 plane may get a second life as a library.
What Happens When Electrons Get Wet?
Measurements of the electron affinity of water have historically proved technically challenging, but better computer models have led to important new insights.
Salt Used to Treat Winter Roads Also a Threat to U.S. Waters
Experts, fearing that road salt is beginning to affect the nation’s waterways, are urging state and local agencies to consider safer alternatives for treating icy roadways.
Smog Vacuum Turns Air Pollution into Jewelry
With smog and air pollution plaguing cities worldwide, the Smog Free Tower from artist and designer Dan Roosegaarde from Studio Roosegaarde is one attempt to remedy the problem while also offering a unique final destination for the filtered smog: jewelry.
Backflow Blocked in New Lab-on-a-chip Design
The device uses both capillary- and vacuum-driven forces to control fluid flow in micro- and nano-sized channels.
Billions of Pieces of Plastic Threaten World's Coral Reefs
It’s no secret that discarded plastic products, like water bottles and grocery bags are polluting our oceans. However, scientists are just now discovering the impact that waste is having on the world’s coral reefs.
Fully Electric, Autonomous Container Ships to Set Sail This Summer
This summer, Port-Liner — a Dutch boat builder — will be set to launch a fleet of its battery-powered, autonomous barges in the Netherlands.
Study Investigates the Carbon Footprint of Sandwiches
Considering the number of sandwiches consumed each year -- over 11.5 billion in the U.K. alone, according to the British Sandwich Association, researchers from the University of Manchester have conducted a first-of-its-kind study examining the carbon footprint of both home-made and pre-packaged sandwiches.
