Engineers at the University of California, Davis (UC Davis) have developed a new radar sensor that can pick up movements just 100th the width of a human hair. Better yet, the sensor itself is only the size of a sesame seed and is energy efficient.Conti… Continue reading Sesame seed-sized radar senses movements a fraction of the width of a hair

As temperatures climb, so does violence. At least that’s the conclusion reached by researchers looking at how ancient cultures in the south central Andes responded to climate change about 1,000 years ago. It may be an important cautionary tale.Continue… Continue reading Climate change may have led to ‘Mad Max’-style scenes in ancient Andes
It’s a rather horrifying fact that every day in hen hatcheries around the world, all male chicks are tossed alive into a grinder. A new system could keep those chicks from ever existing, by analyzing the scent of eggs to ascertain the sex of the embryo… Continue reading Egg-smelling tech may keep male chicks out of the grinder
In order to see what’s going on in someone’s digestive tract, doctors typically analyze stool samples obtained from that person. A new swallowable capsule, however, is claimed to paint a much more accurate picture of an individual’s gut health.Continue… Continue reading CapScan capsule gathers gut data where it counts the most
Manipulating microbes to work for us has been a staple of human civilization for millennia, since we learned how to use yeast to make bread and booze. In a modern breakthrough, scientists have now created semi-living “cyborg cells” that can survive in … Continue reading Semi-living “cyborg cells” can survive where normal bacteria can’t
In a world-first clinical trial, three babies have been born after receiving stem cell treatment for spina bifida. The treatment involves administering a stem cell patch to the fetus’ spine while still developing in the womb, and early results are prom… Continue reading World-first stem cell therapy trial treats spina bifida before birth
Some 180 million years ago, there lived an early mammal – built a lot like the guilty looking fella above – that became the earliest-known ancestor to all mammals on Earth, from the blue whale, to the camel, the rhino, the koala, and your good self.Con… Continue reading Researchers rebuild the genome of the great-grandparent of all mammals
An international team of scientists has published the first complete, gap-free sequence of the human genome. The new reference genome adds hundreds of millions of base pairs to earlier drafts, filling in some crucial gaps that will improve studies of d… Continue reading Global effort realizes first 100% complete sequence of human genome
