The best way to determine what a specific part of the human brain does is to remove that part by surgery and see what happens to us. That, of course, cannot in good conscience, be done - except in extreme cases.
We are the adapted offspring of Earth - creatures of habitat - interactive beings animated by the amazing metabolic dance of life. Nutrients from the earth nourish our innate propensity toward wellness. Balances may shift, but harmony and health are the hallmarks of our existence.
For the first time, MIT researchers have incorporated a plants ability to convert sunlight to energy into a solid-state electronic spinach sandwich device that may one day power laptops and cell phones.
Imagine a light switch that turns on, but not off. When it's flipped, the light stays on forever. Most gene expression systems operate in such a limited one-way fashion. In this month's Nature Biotechnology, HMS professor of genetics and Howard Hughes investigator Norbert Perrimon and colleagues report a temperature-dependent switch for controlling protein activity--one that goes on and off with the ease of a light switch.
Britain could miss out to other EU countries in attracting scientists from the EU accession countries unless it adopts more proactive policies, according to new research at the University of Leeds.
Biologists at the University of California, San Diego have uncovered the first genetic evidence that explains how large-scale alterations to body plans were accomplished during the early evolution of animals.
The discovery of carbon nanotubes heralded a new era of scientific discovery that included the promise of ultrasensitive bomb detectors and superfast computer memory chips. But finding a way to incorporate nanomaterials into a working nanoelectronic system has been a frustratingly elusive achievement -- until now.
Seven Harvard schools, seven teaching hospitals, and close to 100 researchers and scientists are banding together in an ambitious new institute with a simple goal: to use stem cells to help the 150 million people nationally living with or dying from five types of organ and tissue failure.
