This may come as a shocker to people, but it turns out after an extensive and expensive bit of in depth research by top scientists, that we now know that women who binge drink tend to have more unsafe sex! This is so remarkable that they'd like to do further research into this matter. picked by 2manyusernames 1 year ago

New research at the Georgia Institute of Technology could soon make that tangle of wires under desks and in data centers a thing of the past. Scientists are investigating the use of extremely high radio frequencies (RF) to achieve broad bandwidth and high data transmission rates over short distances. picked by AutumnLotus 2 years ago

Chinese scientists have given cells from adult pigs the ability to turn into any tissue in the body, just like embryonic stem cells.
They hope the breakthrough could aid research into human disease, and the breeding of animals for organ transplants for humans.
It may also enable the development of pigs that are resistant to diseases such as swine flu. picked by bingo 6 months ago

Paleontologists in 2005 hailed research that apparently showed that soft, pliable tissues had been recovered from dissolved dinosaur bones, a major finding that would substantially widen the known range of preserved biomolecules. picked by Maxriter 1 year ago

A University of Washington scientist who could not obtain funding from traditional research agencies to test his idea that light particles act in reverse time has received more than $35,000 from folks nationwide who didn't want to see this admittedly far-fetched idea go unexplored. picked by DrNothing 2 years ago

Today, cadaver dogs are the gold standard for detecting and recovering bodies in earthquakes, tornadoes, hurricanes, and other natural disasters. "These dogs are highly effective, but it takes lots of time, expense and manpower to train them. If there was a device that was as effective for a fraction of the cost, that would be something worth pursuing," says Dan Sykes, Ph.D., collaborati... read full post picked by kakana 3 months ago

New research calls into question one of the most basic assumptions of human genetics: that when it comes to DNA, every cell in the body is essentially identical to every other cell.
This discovery may undercut the rationale behind numerous large-scale genetic studies conducted over the last 15 years, studies which were supposed to isolate the causes of scores of human diseases. picked by Bingo 4 months ago

The use of animal experiments could be replaced by research on “virtual human beings” and tests on banks of living cells within a generation, scientists say.
Computer modeling and advances in cell biology will allow researchers to assess new drugs far more precisely and without the involvement of animals. picked by bingo 6 months ago

Soon, New York women will be able to donate their eggs not only to help others get pregnant, but also for stem cell research. And they'll still be able to get reimbursement of up to $10,000 — paid for by taxpayers. A less biased report picked by suebe 4 months ago
