Doctors have discovered a new generation of ‘medicines’ that will prolong life and prevent – or in some cases, reverse – diabetes, heart disease, cancer, stroke and other killers. They will also reduce the risk of life-limiting conditions such as dementia, arthritis, depression and COPD. There are no nasty side-effects, no major shortages – and they […]
NASA has revealed that it has suspended work on building the Space Launch System rocket due to the risking number of coronavirus cases in the community NASA’s plans to return to the moon in 2024 could be delayed due to the coronavirus outbreak.

New artificial proteins have been created to function as molecular logic gates. Like their electronic counterparts in computers, these biochemical tools can be used to program the behavior of complex systems, such as gene regulation inside human T-cells. This new advance might improve the durability of future cell-based therapies. The same basic tools that allow […]
To truly understand an animal species is to observe its behavior and social networks in the wild. With new technology described in PLOS Biology, researchers are able to track tiny animals that divide their time between flying around in the sky and huddling together in caves and hollow trees — by attaching little backpacks to them […]
