In a breakthrough that isn't at all creepy, scientists have devised a method of anchoring living human skin to robots' faces. The technology could actually have some valuable applications, beyond making Westworld-like scenarios a reality.
The Freedom (aka Freedom 6m) is designed by Australia's Lusk Tiny Homes and is based on a double-axle trailer. It comes with an understated steel or wooden exterior that incorporates generous glazing to maximize natural light inside. Its walls and c
"We stumbled into these interesting materials," he says, when NCSU researcher Meixiang Wang was experimenting with ionogels, materials made of a polymer swollen with an ionic liquid that conducts electricity.

Dr. Jordan B. Peterson sits down in-person with filmmaker and science author Max Lugavere. They discuss his upcoming film, "Little Empty Boxes," that details his mother's progression through dementia, which set Max on his life's journey to un
Dr. Tennant, an ophthalmologist, said that he contracted a virus while doing a cornea surgery and developed encephalitis that was made possible because he had a root canal in tooth #14 in the spleen/ stomach circuit that is the power supply to the fr
Researchers at the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory have successfully demonstrated the first 270-kW wireless power transfer to a light-duty electric vehicle.
An increase in cancer cases is putting pressure on Americans already facing a difficult situation--exorbitant drug prices, a lack of regulation, and a system that seems designed to profit, according to experts.
Natural amber can preserve DNA from insects, plants and animals for long periods, and now scientists have created an artificial version that could do the same
DNA is a much denser data storage medium than anything humans can design, but the proble
"Ironically, heating people up actually can lead to rebound body temperature lowering that lasts longer than simply cooling people down directly, as through an ice bath," said Mason.
"What if we can track the body temperature of people with d
For a long time, we thought the sun evaporated water by heating it, but a new discovery on the Photo-Molecular Effect might just change our understanding of the water cycle forever.
If you're waiting for a punchline, there isn't one. This isn't a joke. It's a genuine question, but one we already know the answer to. You get Piggy Sooy, that's what: a soybean that grows pig protein inside it.
Many myths exist about schizophrenia. People with this disorder are not intellectually disabled, nor do they have "split personalities." While some may show aggression during an untreated acute episode, it is rare and unlike the media's portray
In hospitals nationwide, a final prognosis is delivered 72 hours after a severe traumatic brain injury (TBI)?"a mere blink in a race against time that new research warns may be cut short too quickly. New evidence suggests some patients can defy the
These relativistic jets, as they're called, are thought to contain a plasma made of electrons and their antimatter equivalent, positrons. But exactly how this stuff is made, and what effects it has, is tricky to measure from astronomical observatio
Rotary might be a good name for this sort of engine, if the name wasn't already taken. Everything inside the crankcase rotates, but unlike a Wankel-style rotary engine, this design uses a piston with two connecting rods that have a scissor-like move
The planes that included components made with the material were built between 2019 and 2023, among them some Boeing 737 Max and 787 Dreamliner airliners as well as Airbus A220 jets, according to three people familiar with the matter who spoke on the
"Dolphins and parrots call one another by 'name' by imitating the signature call of the addressee," said Michael Pardo, the study's lead and corresponding author. "By contrast, our data suggest that elephants do not rely on imitation of t

Though modern medicine is scratching its head about the why of autoimmune diseases, it is easy to understand that poisoned cells are not recognized as us anymore, as our cells. They have been altered by heavy metals, forever chemicals, plastics, pest
The patient was suffering from scurvy, a disease that took the lives of an estimated 2 million sailors between the 1500s and 1800s. Its cause? Severe vitamin C deficiency.
After adjusting her diet and taking vitamin C supplements, the woman soon r
This latest study, from researchers at the University of Copenhagen in Denmark and the University of Wisconsin-Madison in the US, also proposes a new name for the condition of not having any inner speech: anendophasia.
