Researchers have created an artificial neural network from synthetic DNA that is able to correctly identify handwritten numbers.

Fluorescence-based biosensing and bioimaging technologies are widely used in research and clinical settings to detect and image various biological species of interest. While fluorescence-based detection and imaging techn...

Researchers report metabolic disruptions often seen in shift workers are not influenced by the brain's circadian rhythm, but by peripheral oscillators in the liver, gut and pancreas.

Researchers have developed a new, non surgical method to manipulate brain circuitry. The technique uses sound waves in combination with small bubble injections into the blood stream that temporarily opens the blood-brain...

How do insects survive harsh northern winters? Unlike mammals, they don't have thick coats of fur to keep warm. But they do have antifreeze. Antifreeze proteins (AFPs) prevent ice from forming and spreading inside their ...

A new mouse study reveals pups of mothers who faced prenatal stress and who were exposed, by birth, to maternal vaginal microbiota had decreased body weight and exhibited increased stress hormones as adults.

At 60 days old, the infant brain shows greater neurological activity associated with the lips than any other part of the body, a new study reveals.

Researchers report our ability to identify and categorize visual information is an active process similar to memory stabilization.

Tiny particles seem to stop misfolded proteins from forming toxic clumps in the brains of mice, improving their performance on physical tests

We're beginning to understand the causes of ageing and how to reverse it - thanks to an extract from apple peel that helps improves strength in elderly mice

A British woman who blew her nose a bit too hard didn't just end up with a snot-filled tissue.

Researchers have identified 40 new genes they believe are related to aggressive behavior in both humans and mice. The findings deepen understanding of the genetic basis of aggressiveness.

At Collision, which calls itself "North America's fastest-growing tech conference," former United Nations climate chief Christiana Figueres threw down a challenge to tech titans: move the world from incremental to expone...

Scott Pruitt resigned from the US Environmental Protection Agency, and his successor is likely to continue gutting regulations that limit air and water pollution

Inspired by the liquid metal robot T-1000 in Terminator 2, researchers have made gallium droplets that beat likes hearts and could be used to power artificial muscles

Using a virtual reality simulation to 'become' Albert Einstein helps to enhance cognitive performance in those with low self esteem, a new study reports.

You guys, Elon Musk has a plan.

Physicists have experimentally demonstrated 18-qubit entanglement, which is the largest entangled state achieved so far with individual control of each qubit. As each qubit has two possible values, the 18 qubits can gene...

A KAIST research group presented photonic capsules for injectable laser resonators using microfluidic technology. The capsule's diameter is comparable to a human hair and stable in gas and liquid media, so it is injectab...

Stumbling blocks don't deter this persistent -- and blind -- four-legged robot.

Directly converting electrical power to heat is easy. It regularly happens in your toaster, that is, if you make toast regularly. The opposite, converting heat into electrical power, isn't so easy.

The first big psychological study of Brexit has revealed how age, personality, numeracy skills and mental flexibility are linked to different Brexit views
