Scientists in China have developed the world’s strongest resistive magnet, which produced a steady magnetic field of 42 Tesla (T). The system could improve devices that use magnets, as well as enable a range of new experiments that probe electromagneti… Continue reading World’s strongest resistive magnet fired up in China
Bizarre clumps of organic matter found buried alongside Bronze Age mummies in northwestern China have now been identified as cheese. After a decade’s work, DNA analysis has finally uncovered its origins, making it the most ancient cheese ever found, da… Continue reading World’s oldest cheese has been identified, dating back 3,600 years
Whether it was in your shoelaces or earbud cables, we’ve all accidentally tied knots that we can’t untangle – but we don’t expect to win any world records with them. Now scientists have done exactly that, accidentally tying the world’s smallest and tightest knot in a tiny structure made of just 54 atoms.

Scientists have tweaked traditional cloning of mammals that has resulted in a healthy rhesus monkey who has now passed his second birthday. It’s the first successful cloning of the species, and a big deal for researchers given that primates having prov… Continue reading Cloned monkey ReTro reaches insanely rare milestone of second birthday
For two million years, a 10-feet-tall (305-cm), 660-pound (330-kg) ape towered over other fauna and thrived in its lush forest habitat, until it mysteriously vanished during the late middle Pleistocene. And until now, the extinction of Gigantopithecus … Continue reading With help of lasers, mystery of giant ‘King Kong’ ape’s demise finally solved
Chinese scientists have developed a cost-effective method of converting coal into protein, which they say could feed livestock much more efficiently than natural plants, while using a tiny fraction of the land.Continue ReadingCategory: ScienceTags: Agr… Continue reading Coal-to-protein livestock feed uses 1/1000th as much land as farming
Researchers have developed a single-dose powdered vaccine that is inhaled directly into the lungs to produce an effective immune response. The vaccine can deliver multiple antigens, meaning one dose could provide broad-spectrum protection against sever… Continue reading Single-dose inhaled dry powder vaccine may replace arm jabs

Researchers have demonstrated a programmable nano-scale robot, made from a few strands of DNA, that’s capable of grabbing other snippets of DNA, and positioning them together to manufacture new UV-welded nano-machines – including copies of itself.Conti… Continue reading DNA-folding nanorobots can manufacture limitless copies of themselves
