A remarkable new invention from Tel Aviv University — a network of tiny
sensors as small as dewdrops called "Smart Dew" — will foil even the most
determined intruder. Scattered outdoors on rocks, fence posts and...

Researchers are reporting compelling new scientific evidence for the
existence of low-energy nuclear reactions (LENR), the process once called "cold
fusion" that may promise a new source of energy. One group of scientists, for...

New research suggests that the layer of insulation coating neural wiring in
the brain plays a critical role in determining intelligence. In addition, the
quality of this insulation appears to be largely genetically determined,
providing...

Hydrogen is an attractive alternative to address the depletion of fossil fuels.
A large-scale exploitation of this form of energy requires, however, to resolve
a number of technical problems associated with the production, transport and...

Abstract:
The ultimate electronic energy-storage device would store plenty of energy
but also charge up rapidly and provide powerful bursts when needed. Sadly,
today's devices can only do one or the other: capacitors provide...

For the moment no name, a new neurological syndrome was identified and
characterized by an international team of researchers including Dr. Salvador
Martinez of the Instituto of Neurociencas of San Juan Alicante (CSIC).
Consequence of a...

Schizophrenia and bipolar disorder (or manic-depressive psychosis) psychoses are the two most frequent. Most studies treated them as separate diseases. A team from the Karolinska Institute, Stockholm, conducted a statistical study of
the...

We knew that reducing the intake of calories, for example because of the
reduction of the amount sugar ingested, could prolong life. According to a new
study by researchers at the University of Montreal whose results are published
in the...

Enriching the uranium for reactor fuel and opening the reactor periodically
to refuel it are among the most cumbersome and expensive steps in running a
nuclear plant. And after spent fuel is removed from the reactor, reprocessing it
to...

Abstract:
An engineered metamaterial proved it can function as a state-of-the-art device
in the complex terahertz range of the electromagnetic spectrum, setting a
standard of performance for modulating tiny waves of radiation,...

For years, computer scientists have dreamed up ways to improve networks'
speed, reliability, energy efficiency, and security. But their schemes have
generally remained lab projects, because it's been impossible to test them on a
large...

Researchers at Purdue University have developed a technique using spun-sugar
filaments to create a scaffold of tiny synthetic tubes that might serve as
conduits to regenerate nerves severed in accidents or blood vessels damaged by...

Traditionally, stimulating nerves or brain tissue involves cumbersome wiring
and a sharp metal electrode. But a team of researchers at Case Western Reserve
University is going "wireless."
And it's a unique collaboration...

COLUMBUS, Ohio – Scientists have determined that a specific gene plays a role
in the weight-gain response to a high-fat diet.
The finding in an animal study suggests that blocking this gene could one day
be a therapeutic...
