Science & Technology

Researchers use CRISPR to make large scale genetic changes to bacteria by co-opting a natural process.

Scientists discovery reveals ‘brain-like computing’ at molecular level is possible. New research shows organic molecular switch ’emulates synaptic behavior.’

Researchers have discovered new properties of tiny magnetic whirlpools called skyrmions. Their pivotal discovery could lead to a new generation of microelectronics for memory storage with vastly improved energy efficiency.

Tick bites can transmit Lyme disease. But even knowing where these ticks live doesn’t necessarily mean you can predict the disease in humans. It’s only one part of a broader picture which includes human behavior and the habits of the parasite’s carriers.

A study has investigated the spread of Klebsiella bacteria between humans and the environment.

New research suggests aging is an important component of retinal ganglion cell death in glaucoma, and that novel pathways can be targeted when designing new treatments for glaucoma patients.

A team coaxed stem cells to take on the characteristics and functions of a human adrenal gland, progress that could lead to new therapies for adrenal insufficiencies and a deeper understanding of the genetics of such disorders.

For sharks living in the open ocean, longline fishing is the number-one threat, with an estimated 20 million pelagic sharks caught annually by fishers looking for tuna and other desired species. Now, a new studyshows that a new technology, known as ‘Sh…
