Calcium-based MRI sensor enables more sensitive brain imaging
MIT neuroscientists have developed a new magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) sensor that allows them to monitor neural activity deep within the brain by tracking calcium ions. Because calcium ions are directly linked…
CRISPR successfully lowers Cholesterol in Mice
Biomedical engineers at Duke University have used a CRISPR/Cas9 genetic engineering technique to turn off a gene that regulates cholesterol levels in adult mice, leading to reduced blood cholesterol levels and gene…
Bendable Diamond – Diamond becomes Flexible when made into ultrafine Needles
Diamond is well-known as the strongest of all natural materials, and with that strength comes another tightly linked property: brittleness. But now, an international team of researchers from MIT, Hong Kong, Singapore,…
How Scientists find Exoplanets | NASA’s TESS will seek more Exoplanets
How do Scientists spot something as tiny and faint as a planet trillions of miles away? The trick is to look at the star! So far, most of the exoplanets – worlds…
