From an article by Tim Sandle at Digital Journal: Researchers from Arizona State University have demonstrated that living cells can be induced to carry out complex computations in the manner of tiny robots or computers. It’s an example of engineers and biologists coming together to create an innovative solution to the performing of calculations. The [...]
Aalto University in Finland scientists have produced a new range of anticancer nanomaterials inspired by volcano-induced dynamic chemistry of the deep ocean. The process involves creating synthesized zinc peroxide nanoparticles. The Finnish researchers have successfully simulating the volcano-induced dynamic chemistry of the deep ocean in order to generate nanoclusters of zinc peroxide. The environmentally friendly [...]

Chakravarthy (MD, PhD), Frank J. Boehm and Paul J. Christo (MD, MBA) the objective of the article is to critically review both preclinical and clinical studies that focus [...]
Mark Zuckerberg just commented on artificial intelligence, saying people who warn of "doomsday scenarios" regarding AI are "pretty irresponsible." This did not sit well with Elon Musk, who returned fire on Twitter, saying Zuckerberg's understanding of the subject is "limited." The Facebook CEO made the comment during a Facebook Live open interview with users Monday; [...]
A team of chemists led by Carnegie Mellon University's Rongchao Jin has for the first time conducted site-specific surgery on a nanoparticle. The procedure, which allows for the precise tailoring of nanoparticles, stands to advance the field of nanochemistry. The surgical technique developed by Qi Li, the study's lead author and a 3rd year graduate [...]
A new study conducted by an international team of lung cancer researchers, including Professor John Field from the University of Liverpool, have identified new genetic variants for lung cancer risk. Lung cancer continues to be the leading cause of cancer mortality worldwide. Although tobacco smoking is the main risk factor, variations in a persons genetic [...]
