Living robots built using frog cells
by •
Scientists repurposed living frog cells — and assembled them into entirely new life-forms. These tiny ‘xenobots’ can move toward a target and heal themselves after being cut. These novel living …read more Source:: Science

Laser breakthrough has physicists close to cooling down antimatter
by •
For the first time, physicists at CERN have observed a benchmark atomic energy transition in anithydrogen, a major step toward cooling and manipulating the basic form of antimatter. Antimatter, annihilated …read more Source:: Science
Congenital blindness reversed in mice
by •
Researchers have reversed congenital blindness in mice by changing supportive cells in the retina called Müller glia into rod photoreceptors. The findings advance efforts toward regenerative therapies for blinding diseases …read more Source:: Science
Atlantic circulation is not collapsing — but as it shifts gears, warming will reaccelerate
by •
Data suggest that the recent, rapid slowdown of the Atlantic Ocean circulation is not a sign of imminent collapse, but a shift back toward a more sluggish phase. The slowdown …read more Source:: Science
