Scientists in Europe recently managed to perfect a new achievement in the field of microscopy, when they improved the functionality of a software program that enables microscopes to “learn” what their users are searching for in images.This allows for the machines to conduct studies autonomously, and pinpo... |

A team of investigators at the J. Craig Venter Institute last month managed to create the first synthetic cell. They replaced the genetic material in a microorganism with a new batch of the stuff, but one that was designed artificially. The team says that the complete synthetic genome featured more than 1,080,000 bas... |

Discovering microorganisms in their natural habitat, and analyzing them on the spot, could easily provide researchers with new, more elaborate data on these lifeforms. Studying them in the lab is not always the best thing to do, and at times it may be more efficient to study them in the wild. Researchers at the Arizo... |

Strangely enough, while Hollywood is usually dismissed by the scientific community for its total lack of connection with real knowledge, its technology could mean a boost for science, and especially for molecular biology. Experts believe that the technology used to animate movies such as the blockbuster Shrek could i... |

Obtaining real molecules in an artificial environment has been a long-time dream for biology engineers, and one that was not short on difficulties that had to be surpassed to achieve it. But now, scientists at the Scripps Research Institute, in La Jolla, California, managed to create such a molecule, a tiny fragment ... |

It seems that there is virtually no limit to what researchers can do when they put their mind to it, a new success in the area of nanotechnology from the University of Oxford shows. The scientists there succeeded in creating a two-legged walking nanobot that can navigate a single strand of DNA, without losing its gri... |

Researchers at the Purdue University, in West Lafayette, Indiana, and the Catholic University of America, in Washington DC, managed to discover the mechanisms employed by the “nano-motors” inside viruses. This discovery is remarkable because it allows scientists to replicate, or even sabotage the engines,... |

Doctors point out the fact that fasting may become dangerous for some people if proper control measures are not employed. This refers to a regulatory process that needs to be set in place before and after fasting periods. When deprived of its usual source of energy, which is glucose extracted from food, the brain see... |

A group of researchers at the University of Tokyo have developed a pair of molecular-scale scissors that open and close in response to light. "They measure just three nanometers in length, small enough to deliver drugs into cells or manipulate genes and other biological molecules", says Takuzo Aida, Ph.D., professor... |
