HUMANKIND has created a new species for the first time. Not by building it from genes, as Craig Venter said he was planning to do last week (New Scientist, 30 November, p 12). And not by millions of ...

Physicists have designed an experiment to explain the concept of magnetic resonance. A versatile technique employed in chemistry, physics, and materials research, magnetic resonance describes a ...

Some suggest it begins as early as one to three years old. So the researchers speculated that chimpanzees might have similar abilities since their intellects have been compared to children of similar ...

From targeting cancer cells to engineering 3D tissue, Michigan Tech's Biomedical Micro-Devices Lab operates at the intersection of biology and precision engineering. Just as cells are the building ...

Detecting disease-causing bacteria just got easier, as a simple color change could revolutionize detection and improve food safety. Engineers and biochemists at McMaster university have brought their ...
