As reported in an article published in the journal Nature Photonics, researchers at Utrecht and TU Wein (Vienna) have created special light waves that can penetrate opaque objects and make them practically invisible. When ...
Scientists will see how the immune system copes second time round, by deliberately infecting volunteers.
What was Earth's atmosphere like 4.5 billion years ago? It's a tough question to answer. Back then, Earth was barely a planet and more like a churning mishmash of rocks. When life eventually took hold, it spewed oxygen everywhere and irrevocably changed ...
