(Science China Press) Although the concept of digital coding metamaterial has been proposed to link the digital world and physical world, it is still challenging to manipulate the digital signals in confined electromagne...

A new cancer-detecting tool uses tiny circuits made of DNA to identify cancer cells by the molecular signature on their surface. The circuits work by attaching to the outside of a cell and analyzing it for proteins that ...

Both obesity and smoking can have negative effects on bone health. A recent study examined whether they also impact healing in patients who have undergone surgery for fractures of the wrist, or the distal radius, which a...

Higher exposure to commonly used oral antibiotics is linked to an increased risk of Parkinson's disease according to a recently published study. The strongest associations were found for broad spectrum antibiotics and th...

Researchers have found a new survival mechanism for a commonly known type of bacteria. It can send out warning signals and thus make sure that other bacteria escape 'dangers' such as antibiotics. The researchers hope tha...

Humans, one day, may be able to produce their own electrical energy in the same way electric eels do, according to a research team. It's the ultimate goal that begins with understanding precisely how tiny 'motors' inside...

Researchers are learning about the differences in the underlying biology of patients with severe and milder forms of Alexander disease, a rare neurodegenerative condition that is often fatal to young children.

Wound healing in mucous tissues during early infection by Simian Immunodeficiency Virus guards some primate species against developing AIDS. Both HIV and SIV provoke an immune response that injures tissues surrounding th...

Within just 50 light-years from Earth, there are about 1,560 stars, likely orbited by several thousand planets. About a thousand of these extrasolar planets, known as exoplanets, may be rocky and have a composition simil...

Insufficient sleep is one reason why disadvantaged groups have more heart disease.

The Oculus Go is a fantastic first step into the world of virtual reality and now you can get it for just $149, saving you 25%.

Findings debunk the common theory that attention is the only cognitive function affected by sleep deprivation. Lack of sleep also hinders a person's ability to complete activities that require following multiple steps.

Excessive exposure to certain antibiotics can predispose a person to Parkinson's disease, with a delay of onset of up to 15 years.

When comparing the dangers of e-cigarettes to cigarettes, some experts believe the health risks of e-cigs are not as serious as those from cigarettes.

A company says at least one woman is pregnant after using a controversial DNA screening technique to analyse thousands of DNA variants in developing embryos

At the edge of our solar system, a fierce battle rages between solar wind and interstellar rays. NASA's Voyager 2 spacecraft has now passed through the frontlines.

Smaller, faster, more energy-efficient--this is the goal that developers of electronic devices have been working towards for years. In order to be able to miniaturize individual components of mobile phones or computers f...

An international team led by researchers at Princeton University has directly observed a surprising quantum effect in a high-temperature iron-containing superconductor.

An international team of physicists with the BigRIPS experiment taking place at the RIKEN Radioactive Isotope Beam Factory in Japan has determined the dripline for fluorine and neon isotopes. In their paper published in ...
