Infrared cameras are the heat-sensing eyes that help drones find their targets even in the dead of night or through heavy fog. Hiding from such detectors could become much easier, thanks to a new cloaking

New printing technique could be used to develop remotely controlled biomedical devices. The menagerie of structures that can be magnetically manipulated includes a smooth ring that wrinkles up, a long

To fight cancer, researchers increasingly use vaccines that stimulate the immune system to identify and destroy tumour cells. However, the desired immune response is is not always guaranteed. In order

Over the last decade, bariatric surgeons have made strides in performing weight loss surgery that not only reverses obesity but can also reverse type 2 diabetes in patients with both conditions. Despite

Two new species are Africa's earliest known four-legged vertebrates. The first African fossils of Devonian tetrapods (four-legged vertebrates) show these pioneers of land living within the Antarctic circle,

Reversing memory deficits and impairments in spatial learning is a major goal in the field of dementia research. A lack of knowledge about cellular pathways critical to the development of dementia, however,

Geologic evidence supports a coastal theory of early settlement. When and how did the first people come to the Americas? The conventional story says that the earliest settlers came via Siberia, crossing

New Horizons, Rosetta data fusion points to new theory. Southwest Research Institute scientists integrated NASA's New Horizons discoveries with data from ESA's Rosetta mission to develop a new theory about

In mice, the same changes to sperm miRNAs occur and are transmitted to the next generation. Exposure to early life trauma can lead to poor physical and mental health in some individuals, which can be passed

New analysis compares 22 named storms with possible hurricanes of the future. Scientists have developed a detailed analysis of how 22 recent hurricanes would be different if they formed under the conditions

Nanorobotics team demonstrates their new capability to manufacture optical nanotechnologies. A French nanorobotics team from the Femto-ST Institute in Besançon, France, assembled a new microrobotics system

Most distant oxygen ever detected in the universe. An international team of astronomers used ALMA to observe a distant galaxy called MACS1149-JD1. They detected a very faint glow emitted by ionised oxygen

The human-like features of Homo nalei's brain surprise research team that examined fossil's brain imprints. The recently-discovered species Homo naledi may have had a pint-sized brain, but that brain packed

Researchers at Oregon State University are challenging the premise that trophy hunting is an acceptable and effective tool for wildlife conservation and community development. They argue that charging

Study recovers oldest viral genomes, and shows the hepatitis B virus has been circulating in Europe for at least 7,000 years. An international team of scientists led by researchers at the Max Planck Institute

Seismic and geodetic data show displacement and subsidence, pinpoints detonation site, yield. As North Korea's president pledges to "denuclearize" the Korean peninsula, an international team

An international team of astronomers has used ESO telescopes to investigate a relic of the primordial Solar System. The team found that the unusual Kuiper Belt Object 2004 EW95 is a carbon-rich asteroid,

Insight into potential health effects of dirty air in the Los Angeles basin. Prolonged exposure to particulate matter in air pollution in the Los Angeles Basin triggered inflammation and the appearance

Scientists have detected an exoplanet atmosphere that is free of clouds, marking a pivotal breakthrough in the quest for greater understanding of the planets beyond our solar system. An international team

Only a few decades ago, finding a particular channel on the radio or television meant dialing a knob by hand and then making small adjustments to hone in on the right signal. That's no longer the case,
