An Australian/German team has developed the world’s smallest imaging device, at the thickness of a human hair. It’s capable of traveling down the blood vessels of mice, offering unprecedented abilities to 3D-scan the body at microscopic resolutions.Con… Continue reading World’s smallest imaging device can 3D-scan inside your blood vessels

Traces of two unknown archaic human species turn up in modern DNA

Fossils are the most reliable way we can piece together the history of humans, but some clues have been inside us all along. The human genome can tell us where we’ve come from, and it’s hiding more than a few surprises. Now researchers from t… Continue reading Traces of two unknown archaic human species turn up in modern DNA

Rock radioactivity may tell the tale of long-lost continents on early Earth's crust

Earth has had a tumultuous past, so it’s hard to get a clear idea of those wild early days. But a new study by researchers from the University of Adelaide raises the possibility that continents may have risen out of the sea much earlier than is currently believed, before being destroyed once again by tectonic activity.
