Instead of adding ever more CO2 to the air from fossil fuels, we can simply recycle the same CO2 molecules over and over. Normally, such technology is expensive—about $600 per ton of CO2. A New study suggests a method to drop that cost below $100 per ton.

A. Tsakyridis, C. Vagionas, Th. Alexoudi, A. Miliou, and N. Pleros experimentally demonstrate an all-optical static Random-Access Memory (RAM) cell reporting 10Gb/s error-free Write/Read operation.

This robot behaves much like the worm whose mind was uploaded to it.

This machine can pull nearly 3 Liters of water from dry air in 24 hours using solar energy alone.

Virus-like particle-based vaccine induces robust immunity and protects against tauopathy

Eradication of spontaneous malignancy is made possible by local immunotherapy methods

Therapeutic targeting of senescent cells is feasible under conditions where loss of health has already occurred, and in doing so tissue homeostasis can effectively be restored.

On Aug. 17, 2017, the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-wave Observatory (LIGO) and Virgo detected, for the first time, gravitational waves from the collision of two neutron stars. The event was not only “heard” in gravitational waves but also seen in light by dozens of telescopes on the ground and in space. Learn more about what this rare astronomy event taught us in a new video from LIGO and Virgo.

This confirmation by NASA could mean month-long trips to Mars and 16 year flights to the nearest star system, alpha & proxima centauri--which is 4 light years away, and would have taken centuries before. However, this drive baffles the science community because it appears to break Newton's Third Law. White et. al.

JET is using the most abundant element in the universe, hydrogen, to make plasma--and one day fusion energy that will be far more abundant than current nuclear fission energy with no harmful waste products.

This robotic cardiac assist device could lead to solutions that keep hearts beating healthfully, forever. Roche et. al.

This neural interface could soon help those paralyzed from spinal injury regain movement with their own natural muscles. No prostheses or robotics needed. The research has shown promise in primate trials. Capogrosso, Milekovic, Borton et. al.
