Nearly 400,000 years after the Big Bang, the primordial plasma of the infant universe cooled enough for the first atoms to coalesce, making space for the embedded radiation to soar free. That light—the cosmic microwave background…
Human embryo development and early organ formation remain largely unexplored due to ethical issues surrounding the use of embryos for research as well as limited availability of materials to study. In a paper published April 6 in the…
Fraunhofer IWS has developed a process to produce lightweight panels and profiles significantly faster as well as cheaper than with conventional methods. It eliminates…
Chung-Ang University researchers develop a novel IoT-based sensing system that can detect vibrations and deformations in precast structures during delivery and reports…
A Rutgers-led team of scientists studying virus-host interactions of a globally abundant, armor-plated marine algae, Emiliania huxleyi, has found that the circular, chalk plates the algae produce can act as catalysts for viral infection,…

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), commonly known as Lou Gehrig's disease and Stephen Hawking's disease, is a neurodegenerative disease that results in the gradual loss of control over the muscles in the body. It is currently incurable…
SEM fractographs demonstrating (a) a pore-like flaw, microcrack, and crack on the fracture surface, and (b) a pore-like flaw, which resulted in macroscopic splitting…
Brain structures which could predict an individual's predisposition to accidental awareness under anaesthetic have been identified for the first time by neuroscientists in Trinity College Dublin.
The findings, just published in the journal…
