The Apple FlatMac was one of those 1980s concepts by designer [Hartmut Esslingers] that remained just a concept with no more than some physical prototypes created. That is, until [Kevin …read more Continue reading FlatMac: Building the 1980’s Apple iPad Concept
If you were a flowering plant, wouldn’t you want your pollen to be received by a plant of your own kind? According to a new study, at least one plant may ensure that happens, by blasting “rival” pollen off of pollinating animals’ bodies.Continue Readin… Continue reading Explosive flower blasts beaks to dislodge rival pollen

Scientists have discovered a kind of “pause button” in early human development. This biological mechanism has long been known in other mammals, but its discovery in humans could aid IVF procedures.Continue ReadingCategory: Biology, ScienceTags: Cells, … Continue reading Human embryo “pause button” could boost IVF success
A non-hormonal, reversible and non-toxic male birth control could be a step closer, with scientists successfully targeting a protein that’s crucial in making fertile sperm. Knocking this protein out for a period of time would give men control over thei… Continue reading Male birth control breakthrough safely switches off fit sperm for a while
Researchers have created lab-grown testicle organoids that closely resemble the real thing. The breakthrough provides a promising model for research that may advance our understanding of the organs’ development and translate into therapeutic applicatio… Continue reading Grow a pair: Lab-grown testicles tackle infertility treatment
Scientists have boosted the motility of sluggish sperm by up to 266%, by blasting the cells with noninvasive, 40-MHz ultrasound waves to induce movement. Capturing the technique’s impact on individual sperm cells, the study opens the door to new non-in… Continue reading Ultrasound waves spark movement in sleepy sperm by up to 266%
Women’s fertility tends to decline starting in their mid-30s, which can make it harder to have kids in middle age. Now scientists have identified a mechanism that seems to accelerate aging of the ovaries – and found a way, in mice at least, to slow it … Continue reading Anti-aging breakthrough could boost female fertility in middle age
