Fortunately, new research by Rockefeller University scientists [...]

Bioavailable plastics known contain substances that can be absorbed by living systems during their normal physiological functions. But recently, it was revealed in ScienceDaily, that if research at Missouri University of Science and Technology is successful, the plastic bottles of the future could literally disappear within four months of being discarded. By combining and modifying [...]

First thing come up into our mind when we’re talking about solar system maybe the Sun and everything that orbits the Sun, including the planets and their satellites; the dwarf planets, asteroids, Kuiper Belt Objects, and comets; and interplanetary dust and gas.

It may be detected by digital rectal examination, but recently, researchers at the University of Michigan developed an experimental biomarker test that more accurately detects prostate cancer than any other screening method currently in [...]

As a step toward realizing applications such as e-paper, flexible color monitors and “heads-up” displays in car windshields, engineers have created the first “active matrix” display using a new class of transparent transistors and circuits. It was mentioned in ScienceDaily that, the transistors are made of “nanowires,” a tiny cylindrical structures as small as 20 nanometers, [...]

It was revealed in ScienceDaily that a team of scientists led by an archaeologist from The University of Arizona has unearthed the oldest collection gold artifacts found in the Americas.
