American scientists plan to crack open a salt crystal with liquid inside that may contain still-living microorganisms from 830 million years ago, in research that could provide insight into life on o… [+2545 chars]
Could the Earth's core be rusting? Scientists are now suggesting that there are major changes happening to Earth's physiology that we may not be able to see immediately. Earth's core is made up of mo… [+2606 chars]
Bacteria-mediated theranostics is a new paradigm in medical technology. In an article recently published in the journal ACS Applied Biomaterials, researchers synthesized gold (Au) nanoclusters on the… [+6154 chars]

Consider the humble zebrafish. They produce 200 embryos every 7 days, they're cheap and easy to grow, and their young are small and transparent. But their most important featureat least if you are a … [+4668 chars]
DNA "fingerprints" left behind by sea turtles offer scientists a simple, powerful way of tracking the health and whereabouts of these endangered animals, a key step forward in their conservation. A … [+6908 chars]
The two most cited psychologists are Sigmund Fraud and Jean Piaget. Piaget pioneered the study of intellectual development in children. Coming in third is Hans Eysenck who died in 1997 at age 81. He … [+517 chars]
Our planet's oceans generate tell-tale light signatures when sunlight reflects off them. Exoplanets with significant ocean coverage may do the same. Can we use the Earth's reflectance signatures to i… [+5413 chars]
A Monash University student team is once again competing against the world’s best to build next-generation interplanetary rovers that could one day accompany human explorers to Mars. After a two-ye… [+3188 chars]
A Russian-Belorussian research team has developed a new tungsten oxidebased gas sensing material that shows high sensitivity to carbon monoxide, nitrogen dioxide and acetone. The new material's gas s… [+2498 chars]
DNA molecules called plasmids – some of which protect bacteria from antibiotics – can spread rapidly through bacterial "communities" that are treated with antibiotics, new research shows. Plasmids a… [+2591 chars]
