Our unconscious gaze is controlled by an automatic selection process computed by a neural network in the brain. Details of this computation have now been studied and could soon become relevant for rob..

Engineers have developed a new ultrasound transducer, or probe, that could dramatically lower the cost of ultrasound scanners to as little as $100. Their patent-pending innovation — no bigger than a ..

Researchers have identified two main challenges for renewable biofuel production from cheap sources. First, lowering the cost of developing microbial cell factories, and second, establishing more effi..

A team of energy researchers has discovered that molecular motion can be predicted with high accuracy when confining molecules in small nanocages. Their theoretical method is suitable for screening mi..

Microbiologists and tissue engineers discuss the development and application of three-dimensional (3-D) tissue culture models as they pertain to infectious disease in a new review. They describe these..

The effects of KRAS mutations underlying many different types of cancer are more diverse than previously thought, according to a new study. Different mutations in the same amino acid of the KRAS prote..

Researchers have discovered a novel color-generation mechanism in nature, which if harnessed, has the potential to create cosmetics and paints with purer and more vivid hues, screen displays that proj..

Naturally-derived anti-oxidants have become the 'it' health ingredient to look for in food. But researchers have now discovered that TEMPO — a well-known artificial anti-oxidant — is up to..

The Arctic is rapidly warming, with stronger effects than observed elsewhere in the world. Determining whether the Arctic is continuing to take up carbon from the atmosphere or instead releasing it to..

Scientists have developed an improved model to accurately assess the effect of black carbon on Earth's atmosphere.
