Harvesting solar energy is a clever way to make use of a clean and renewable fuel. You don't need to dig the ground for it, there are no pipes and powerplants, and best of all, it's ecological. Unfortunately, existent solar cells are not too efficient and can't convert more than 10 percent of the sola... |

After four years of research, researchers have discovered a way to engineer adult stem cells from human umbilical cord blood to synthesize insulin. This could lead to a revolutionary treatment against diabetes. "This discovery tells us that we have the potential to produce insulin from adult stem cells to help people... |

Inserting a gene into a cell is hard work. But it is even harder when it's about a plant cell. Now a team of Iowa State University has managed to do it and to trigger the gene's expression with controlled precision by using nanotechnology, a fact that could boost it as a novel powerful tool for delivery pro... |

Radiation is truly the invisible killer. Coming in the form of waves or moving subatomic particles, it's unheard and unseen and can only be felt after some time, when it's usually too late for a treatment. Currently, there is no effective treatment for radiation poisoning (also called radiation sickness),... |

It's like weighing a dream. Or a thought. Only that it's material. But researchers have succeeded in weighing a single living cell. Previous attempts resulted ineffective as any sample had to be dried, killing the cells. The new method allows for the weighing of samples as light as 1/1,000,000,000,000,000 g... |

We possess an inner clock that assigns as to be either an owl or a lark. Another inner clock reacts to seasons, that's why for some the winter is a reason for joy, while for others it can mean depression. Now a team at the University of Edinburgh is focusing on the behavior and biology of primitive sheep breed ... |

Solar energy would be the best energy source: cheap, renewable and non-contaminant. Now, after 10 years of research, a new solar cell technology developed by Massey University's Nanomaterials Research Centre could generate electricity from sunlight at a 10th of the cost of current silicon-based photo-electric so... |

They can grow a piece of bone or a piece of skin, but with the latest technologies, it seems they can also grow new hearts, or at least pieces, for heart attack survivors, children born with heart malformations, or those with clogged or weak blood vessels.A team at the University of Michigan Medical School describes ... |

All of you who dropped the cell phone on asphalt or concrete know that usually, the phone doesn't bounce off and it surely can't be used as a football more than once.The reason iPods and cell phones stop working after pavement bounces is that the chips contain many nearly microscopic pathways that send ope... |

Nanomaterials are regarded as a great hope for many medical fields, like fighting against tumors. But as in the case of every new technology, the size, type, and dispersion of nanomaterials are not well understood in how they could impact human health and the environment. Two new researchers at Rensselaer Polytechnic... |

'A long way from the console games that processor has come, indeed,' (Yoda would comment on the subject), and now on to the dark side. Not having much success with the PS3, Sony is in quite a bad spot right now. Not to mention the exploding batteries phase they went through, it looks like they're not g... |
