A team of experts at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) announces the development of a new model that can simulate the way unicellular bacteria and multicellular microbes distribute energy throughout their bodies.
The balance between energy production and expenditure inside any living organism is calle... |

Sascha Mehlhase, a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Copenhagen Niels Bohr Institute, showcases an impressive creation, made entirely out of LEGO. The structure is a 1:50 model of the ATLAS ((A Toroidal LHC ApparatuS) particle detector on the Large Hadron Collider (LHC).
The amazingly detailed model show... |

Predicting where earthquakes will strike next and when is nearly impossible, but researchers are making headway in their efforts to at least figure out which areas are the most likely to be hit. A team of experts at the University of California in Davis (UCD) developed the most accurate such model.
This was establ... |

Recently, experts at Northrop Grumman needed only four days to install a full-scale model of NASA's future James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), in New York. Unlike a model, designing, developing, building and commissioning a “real” space telescope takes years of hard work, until all systems are integra... |

The standard explanation of how our Universe is set up states that roughly one quarter (23 percent) of everything is made out of dark matter, a form of matter that cannot be readily observed through conventional means. In fact, it has never been observed at all, although scientists tried out a wide variety of methods... |

Climate change and global warming are already beginning to cause ill-effects around the planet, from disrupting ecosystems to causing more volcanic eruptions and making soils arid. But probably these phenomena bring about their worse effects in polar regions. While, in the North, they heat up the Arctic and Greenland... |

A new scientific study has determined that using mannequins to guide would-be doctors when they learn how to use ultrasound imaging is highly effective, without risking the quality of healthcare provided to patients. The method should be used in a lot more settings than it's currently employed in, as it ensures ... |

For a long time, animal rights activists have argued that testing all sorts of new cosmetic products or drugs on apes, dogs and other species is unethical, and have also lobbied for the practice to be abolished. Rather than criticizing the activists, like others in the industry, researchers at the Fraunhofer Institut... |

Manipulating DNA is an expression of many meanings, in that any sort of influence exerted on the strands can be considered to be a manipulation. One of the most appropriate processes to be termed with this concept is gel electrophoresis, which basically refers to moving DNA around through the use of an electric field... |

The fruit fly (scientifically: Drosophila melanogaster) is the most commonly used model for a very extensive array of scientific experiments, analyzing anything from genetics to cellular evolution and physiology. However, observing its behavior, in both courtship and aggressiveness, is a very tedious process, which c... |

Newcastle University experts have only recently devised a groundbreaking mathematical model that could potentially be used to assess the risk of a tsunami occurring, to determine which area is most likely to get hit and in what time frame the destructive wave will reach the coast. It goes without saying that such a m... |
