Adam Zewe | MIT News Metabolic imaging is a noninvasive method that enables clinicians and scientists to study living cells using laser light, which can help them assess disease progression and treatment responses. But light…
An international team of scientists recently published a study highlighting the potential role of iron sulfides in the formation of life in early Earth’s terrestrial hot springs. According to the researchers, the sulfides…
A team of international neuroscientists, led by researchers from Duke-NUS Medical School, has identified a crucial mechanism governing the reactivation of neural stem cells, which are vital for brain cell repair and regeneration….
In a novel approach, researchers have succeeded in capturing nanoscale video footage of hydrogen and oxygen atoms combining into water from an inert environment, facilitated by a rare metal catalyst. The highly efficient…
Microbes were recently identified living within sealed fractures in rocks estimated to be 2 billion years old. The samples were extracted from the Bushveld Igneous Complex, located in South Africa, a region known…
Adam Zewe | MIT News MIT researchers have developed a miniature, chip-based “tractor beam,” like the one that captures the Millennium Falconin the film “Star Wars,” that could someday help biologists and clinicians study DNA,…
A Spain-based startup has achieved a significant milestone by demonstrating the efficacy of its graphene-based brain-computer interface (BCI) in enabling precise tumor surgeries. INBRAIN Neuroelectronics, a company focused on developing advanced brain-computer interface…
Neuralink, the brain-computer interface (BCI) company founded by Elon Musk, has achieved a significant milestone by obtaining “breakthrough device” designation from the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for its Blindsight implant. The…
Scientists have developed a “5D memory crystal” capable of storing the human genome with the aim of preserving the continuity of the species, even in the face of possible extinction. This innovative device…
Researchers have developed an innovative technique to visualize internal organs of the body by making overlapping tissues transparent to visible light. The surprising approach, which uses a safe food dye, has been shown…
