Being able to eat whatever we want and still stay slim is many people’s dream come true. And while it still remains firmly in fantasy territory for now, new research may have brought it a step closer to reality. By blocking a gene in certain immune cel… Continue reading Deleting immune cell genes prevents obesity in mice on high-fat diet
The best phone cameras can record slow motion with under 1,000 frames per second. Commercial rigs generally shoot with several thousand. But that all absolutely pales in comparison to the new record holder for the world’s fastest camera, boasting a mind-boggling rate of 70 trillion frames per second. That’s fast enough to capture light waves in movement.

No matter how tough we think life is, it continually outdoes expectations. Now a new study from MIT has found that E. coli and yeast can survive in an atmosphere made up of 100 percent hydrogen. And that could have fascinating implications for life on … Continue reading Surprising study finds microbes can survive in all-hydrogen atmosphere
While the majority of tissues in the human body can regenerate after injury, some of the most important ones can’t. That includes axons, the long nerve fibers that pass signals between neurons. But now, researchers at Temple University have found that … Continue reading Molecule injections help repair spinal cord injuries in mice
For bacteria, the first line of defense is the cell wall, which keeps toxins such as antibiotics out. Now, researchers have discovered a key mechanism that bacteria use to build their cell walls, which could present a new target in the ongoing quest to… Continue reading Potentially exploitable weakness found in bacteria’s outer armor
An international team of scientists is reporting success with one of the most advanced bionic arms ever made. The system is integrated into the patient’s nerves, allowing them to control the prosthesis just by thinking about it, the way you would with … Continue reading Mind-controlled prosthetic arms “feel” like the real thing
After unveiling its flashy new laptop processors a few weeks ago, Intel has now shown off its latest generation of desktop processors. The 10th Gen Intel Core S-series is much faster for playing games, streaming content and editing video, with the comp… Continue reading Intel reveals 10th Gen desktop processors, its fastest ever
To get a sense of how “normal” the Sun may be, astronomers have compared the Sun to hundreds of similar stars. It turns out that it’s actually far less active than its peers – but is this a permanent personality, or is it just going through a phase?Con… Continue reading Is the Sun always this quiet or is it just a phase?
One of the best weapons against cancer might have been inside us all along – our own immune systems. Immunotherapy involves supercharging the immune system to better root out cancer from its hiding places, and now researchers at EPFL have discovered a … Continue reading Scientists turn the tables on cancer with new immunotherapy target
A new Spinosaurus fossil has revealed that this gigantic predatory dinosaur was a proficient swimmer. The first fossil of the creature’s tail has been discovered, revealing large spines that indicate a paddle shape like a crocodile’s tail – the first d… Continue reading Superpredator Spinosaurus revealed as first known swimming dinosaur
