HP says its researchers have proven the existence of what had previously been only theorized as the fourth fundamental circuit element in electrical engineering.
As a powerful electrical storm rages on Saturn with lightning bolts 10,000 times more powerful than those found on Earth, the Cassini spacecraft continues its five-month watch over the dramatic events.
Ernest Moore, an audiologist and cell biologist at Northwestern University, developed tinnitus — a chronic ringing and whooshing sound in his ears — twenty years ago after serving in the U.S. Army reserves medical corps. His hearing was damaged by the crack of too many M16 rifles and artillery explosions.
Diabetic individuals have a significantly higher risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease but the molecular connection between the two remains unexplained. Now, researchers at the Salk Institute for Biological Studies identified the probable molecular basis for the diabetes – Alzheimer’s interaction.
Reno, Nevada has been experiencing earthquakes that have been steadily increasing in intensity, counter to the “normal” pattern of strong quake followed by smaller aftershocks, and scientists are trying to figure out why.
Stem cell researchers at UCLA were able to grow functioning cardiac cells using mouse skin cells that had been reprogrammed into cells with the same unlimited properties as embryonic stem cells.
Tumor cells living in the cross hairs of radiation or chemotherapy may be able to escape death because their self-destruct mechanisms are jammed, say University of Florida scientists writing in a recent issue of Developmental Cell.
Chemist Albert Hoffman, who created LSD in 1938, has died in Switzerland at age 102.
A quirky psychological phenomenon known as “grapheme-color synaesthesia” describes individuals who experience vivid colors whenever they see, hear, or think of ordinary letters and digits. A hallmark of synaesthesia is that individuals seem to be idiosyncratic in their experiences.
The Department of Defense announced the creation of the new, federally-funded institution, the Armed Forces Institute of Regenerative Medicine (AFIRM) during a briefing today at the Pentagon.
This news release from the Max Planck Institute describes evidence that supports the existence of gravitational waves, which at least one blogger here has insisted do not exist.
Superkick: Black hole expelled from its parent galaxy
Gravitational rocket propelled the monster at a speed of thousands of kilometres per second
By an enormous burst of gravitational waves that accompanies the merger of two black holes the newly formed black hole was ejected from its galaxy. This extreme ejection event, which had been predicted by theorists, has now been observed in nature for the first time.
