Physicists at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) experimented with quantum mechanical phenomena and demonstrated that it is possible to store qubit information in the form of vibrations by using extremely small carbon nanotubes.
The endangered aye-aye, a type of lemur, has had its complete genome sequenced for the first time in an attempt to help guide conservation efforts.
It's a victory for clean electricity. Researchers have made a breakthrough in their quest to create a 'bio-battery' by using marine bacteria.
Two new species of mouse lemur have been discovered in Madagascar. They're so similar, that researchers couldn't tell them apart without genetic sequencing.
In the last two weeks, the number of dead pigs in Huangpu River in Shanghai, which supplies 22 percent of the drinking water to the metropolis, has crossed 16,000
Humans caused a mass extinction event on the Pacific islands when they first arrived, wiping out hundreds of species of birds.
A team of scientists from Ecole Polytechnique Federale de Lausanne (EPFL) have developed the world's smallest medical implant that monitors your blood and cautions your smartphone on detecting any signs of an impending heart attack.
A latest study by researchers from Glasgow University emphasizes on the need for parents to curb the amount of time their young kids spend parked in front of the TV; because more than three hours of TV-watching is linked to increased risk of antisocial behavior.
A recent finding published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences shows a disturbing correlation between social isolation and higher risk of death in older people.
The latest warning from the Food and Drug Administration states that many temporary tattoos, including black henna tattoos, are not necessarily safe, as they cause adverse skin allergies.
Scientists from Harvard University have discovered a new species of caecilian in French Guiana where the new born peel off and feed on their mother's skin,
Medical researchers presented a revolutionary wound dressing technology, currently in development and testing stage, which can detect infections and thus alert physicians of the infected wound by a simple color change. Infections in burn victims are hard to detect at the moment, and can be deadly.
