Rather, the nucleotide was replaced with the synthetic unit 5-chlorouracil (c), which is... [read more >>] Talk about giving too much power to a single individual. Judge Royce Lamberth is apparently the definition of not to do when in office. He basically put an end to federal funding for stem cell research in the United States,... [read more >>] Any first-grader will tell you that matter can bend and twist light. This is obvious in anything from mirrors to space telescopes, and from lasers to polarizing 3D glasses. But the opposite interaction has almost never been... [read more >>] A research team that was already involved in developing one of the most groundbreaking medical devices in history is now working on improving its original design, which was made available in the 1980s. The scientists, based... [read more >>] Bioengineers working in the field of human-tissue repair and doctors trying to get better results with transplants will soon benefit from the advantages provided by the “world's first production model 3D bio-prin... [read more >>] Each year, as Christmas nears, members of the international scientific community start celebrating the season in their own way, by taking the high-tech approach. For instance, this year, experts at the UK National Physics L... [read more >>] Despite having a “unitary” sound to their names, carbon nanotubes (CNT) can actually be of varied compositions and structures, as determined by their electronic properties. However, when they are produced in bul... [read more >>] Researchers at the University of California in Los Angeles (UCLA) have just recently created the smallest incandescent light bulb in history, which is about 100,000 times narrower and 10,000 times shorter than the one first... [read more >>] Following the glitches in September, known as "quench" happening during the "S34 Incident," which affected sectors 3-4 of the Large Hadron Collider's ring, the repairs were estimated to cost about 35 million Swiss fran...
