(PhysOrg.com) -- Thanks to the flexible yet robust properties of carbon nanotubes, researchers have previously fabricated transistors that can be rolled, folded, and stretched.
(PhysOrg.com) -- The technological world of the 21st century owes a tremendous amount to advances in electrical engineering, specifically, the ability to finely control the flow of electrical charges using increasingly small and complicated circuits.
MOSCOW — It was an Ice Age squirrel’s treasure chamber, a burrow containing fruit and seeds that had been stuck in the Siberian permafrost for over 30,000 years.
Yesterday, MIT's news office officially announced the successful human tests for the first wirelessly controlled drug-delivery chip. The programmable microchip contains capsules of ...
In creating an algorithm that searches for and implements more secure computer configurations, computer science associate professor Errin Fulp and graduate student Michael Crouse from the Wake Forest University in North Carolina have been inspired by genetics.
"Just as one might try to prevent a home robbery, our goal is to create a 'moving target defense' that detects cyber threats when they first case the house. If we can automatically change the landscape by adding the technological equivalent of security cameras or additional lighting, the resulting uncertainty will lower the risk of attack," he pointed out.
Last August, Hurricane Irene spun through the Caribbean and parts of the eastern United States, leaving widespread wreckage in its wake.
However, researchers from MIT and Princeton University have found that with climate change, such storms could make landfall far more frequently, causing powerful, devastating storm surges every three to 20 years.
Le satellite Grace a fourni une vue précise de la fonte des glaces entre 2003 et 2010. Hors des pôles, 148 milliards de tonnes d'eau gelée ont disparu chaque année en causant une augmentation moyenne du niveau des mers de 0,4 mm par an.
C’est peut-être une avancée majeure dans la lutte contre la maladie d’Alzheimer. Un médicament, le bexarotène, a fait reculer en quelques jours seulement les plaques séniles chez des souris, qui ont de plus retrouvé leurs capacités cognitives.
When disease-causing invaders like bacteria infect a human host, cells of various types swing into action, coordinating their activities to address the threat.
Selon l’un de ses découvreurs, la superterre qui orbite autour de l’étoile GJ 667C à seulement 22 années-lumière du Soleil est désormais la meilleure candidate au titre de planète rocheuse...
Gletschermann Ötzi litt an Laktose-Intoleranz und hatte Verwandte auf Sardinien. Das haben Experten bei der Analyse seines Erbguts herausgefunden. Und Ötzis DNA könnte noch weitere Geheimnisse bergen.
While RNA is an appealing drug target, small molecules that can actually affect its function have rarely been found.
But now scientists from the Florida campus of The Scripps Research Institute have for the first time designed a series of small molecules that act against an RNA defect directly responsible for the most common form of adult-onset muscular dystrophy.
Des nanorobots composés de brins d’ADN ont délivré des médicaments à des cellules cancéreuses et les ont détruites à 50 %, laissant indemnes les cellules saines.
(PhysOrg.com) -- New images from NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) spacecraft show the moon's crust is being stretched, forming minute valleys in a few small areas on the lunar surface.
(Medical Xpress) -- Every person carries on average 100 variants that disable genes - yet very few suffer ill effects, an international team of researchers led by Yale University and Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute report in the Feb.
(PhysOrg.com) -- Chemists at The University of Texas at Austin have created a molecule that's so good at tangling itself inside the double helix of a DNA sequence that it can stay there for up to 16 days before the DNA liberates itself, much longer...
Un médicament approuvé par la FDA appelé bexarotène agit contre de nombreux effets de la maladie d'Alzheimer qui apparaissent dans son modèle animal chez la souris annoncent des...
Neuroscientists at Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine have made a dramatic breakthrough in their efforts to find a cure for Alzheimer's disease.
L’Union européenne veut protéger la Terre contre les impacts d'astéroïdes ou de comètes géocroiseurs. Elle vient de donner son feu vert au financement de NEO-Shield, une ambitieuse étude pour déterminer la meilleure technique.
