They wanted mammoths, but got mice: Colossal BioSciences startup has bred woolly rodents
Geneticists and bioengineers at Colossal BioSciences have bred woolly mice as part of a project to revive mammoths.
Researchers have learned to predict cancer before a person is born
The risk of developing cancer in humans is formed in the early stages of fetal development, scientists have discovered. The study covers two epigenetic states that affect the likelihood of developing the disease during life.
Caltech scientists calculate the speed of human thought — millions of times slower than Wi-Fi
Researchers at the California Institute of Technology say that the speed of human thought reaches just 10 bits per second — and that’s incredibly slow. Meanwhile, the sensory systems of the human body perform significantly better, collecting data about our environment at a rate of a billion bits per second.
Not resting: scientists have studied the work of people’s brains while watching movies
Do you think that watching movies is a rest for the brain? A new study by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) shows that watching movies activates various neural networks in our brain.
Scientists have developed a nanosensor that detects lung cancer in a single breath
Chinese scientists have developed a nanosensor that detects lung cancer by the level of isoprene in the air a person exhales.
Scientists have developed a technology to power gadgets from the human body
Researchers at Carnegie Mellon University (USA) have developed Power-over-Skin technology, which allows wearable devices to be powered by human body energy without the use of batteries.
