Scientists used pluripotent stem cells to generate functional, three-dimensional human stomach tissue in a laboratory – creating an unprecedented tool for researching the development and diseases of an organ central to several public health crises, ranging from cancer to diabetes. Scientists at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center report Oct. 29 in Nature they used human

The method has been shown to work with all types of hair follicles Researchers lead by Professor Takashi Tsuji from the Tokyo University of Science have successfully induced the natural hair growth and loss cycle in previously hairless mice. They have achieved this feat through the implantation of bioengineered hair follicles recreated from adult-tissue derived

High amounts of intermittent energy generation such as wind and solar is being attached to the grid, driving high electricity price volatility, peak spreads and negative electricity prices in some markets. Electricity storage in Europe and other markets with significant intermittent generation may arrive more quickly than many in the industry think, thanks to price

When cost-effectiveness puts high demands on airport operations, Saab’s Remote Tower is exactly what airports need in order to stay competitive and to reduce cost. Air Navigation Service Providers (ANSPs) worldwide are trying to reduce the cost of providing ATS without affecting safety or operational availability. Remote Towers will not only help this happen but

The results suggest the technique could be used to combat a variety of diseases. Using a novel form of immune-genetic therapy, researchers from Yale School of Medicine and the Jagiellonian University College of Medicine in Poland have successfully inhibited a strong immune allergic inflammatory response in the skin of mice. The results suggest the technique

Control algorithm for teams of robots factors in moving obstacles. Planning algorithms for teams of robots fall into two categories: centralized algorithms, in which a single computer makes decisions for the whole team, and decentralized algorithms, in which each robot makes its own decisions based on local observations. With centralized algorithms, if the central computer

  Princeton scientists fine-tune test for early-stage cancer, Alzheimer’s disease Scientists at Princeton University say they have used nanotechnology to make tests to detect diseases, such as cancer and Alzheimer’s, 3 million times more sensitive. That means what researchers are calling a breakthrough in nanotechnology and medicine could enable doctors to detect these illnesses at

Research scientist Andreas Mershin has a dream to bring inexpensive solar power to the masses   Research scientist Andreas Mershin has a dream to bring inexpensive solar power to the masses, especially those in developing countries. After years of research, he and his team at MIT‘s Center for Bits and Atoms, along with University of
