Researchers in Europe have developed a new neural probe that allows recording and electrical and chemical stimulation of single neurons in the brain. Researchers in Europe have developed a new neural probe that allows recording and electrical and chemical stimulation of single neurons in the brain. They claim that this technology has tremendous potential and [...]
This research was funded in part by the project ZP DOMAIN STRUCTURE (“Structure determination of the zona pellucida domain by X-ray crystalloghy”), which were awarded € 40,000 by a Marie Curie fellowship for human resources and mobility of the Sixth Framework Programme (FP6) of the EU. For centuries we have been charmed by the gametes [...]
The fat cells of obese people seem to have a limit on the amount of fat that are capable of storing. According to new research funded in part by the EU, the fat cells of obese people seem to have a limit on the amount of fat that are capable of storing. Once this limit [...]
Scientists have tested a truly revolutionary theory that sees the robots “think” the actions to be performed with a given object. One could therefore assume that the robots are able to learn from their own observations and experiences. This latest discovery is the result of the project PACO-PLUS (Perception, action and cognition through learning of [...]
Some scientists have revealed that the biological clocks of plants help them to react to changes linked to sunrise and sunset and day length. These results shed new light on how living things react to the changing rhythms of daylight and may help us better understand the effects of jetlag and shift work. The results [...]
Developed a microscope that provides a three-dimensional (3D), instant intact cells without the need to fix them chemically, or even cut stained. German and U.S. scientists have done what seemed impossible: they have developed a microscope that provides an advanced three-dimensional (3D), instant intact cells without the need to chemically attach, cut or even stained [...]
An international team of scientists has discovered 30 new genes that control the age at which girls reach sexual maturity. In addition, many of these genes are known to be involved in the metabolism of body fat. The findings could explain why some girls reach puberty at a younger age than others, and help prevent [...]
