Many experts think graphene could change the face of electronics -- especially if the scientific community can overcome a major challenge intrinsic to the material. Oxidation could be the answer.

Researchers at Northwestern University have developed a new method for chemically altering graphene, a development that could be a step toward the creation of faster, thinner, flexible electronics.

Researchers have made the discovery of a vaccine that will potentially help combat hepatitis C.

Chemical metrologists in Canada have made the most accurate measurement of silicon’s molecular weight to date

Scientists have developed a technique which could form the basis of a non-invasive diagnostic for Adenovirus – the virus responsible for a large number of common illnesses.

(PhysOrg.com) -- A new, single-step method of fabricating microcapsules, which have potential commercial applications in industries including medicine, agriculture and diagnostics, has been developed by researchers at the University of Cambridge. The findings are published last Friday (Feb. 10) in the journal Science.

A shark attack survivor now knows what it feels like to be part bionic man. Twenty-three-year-old amputee Craig Hutto has volunteered to test a state-of-the-art prosthetic leg with powered knee and ankle joints.

Researchers have developed a technique for using stem cells to deliver therapy that specifically targets the genetic abnormality found in Huntington's disease, a hereditary brain disorder that causes progressive uncontrolled movements, dementia and death.

The Solar Power team in Nicaragua gets the solar panel working and now must get it mounted in the ground and connected to the church, but they seem to have run into a problem.

Scientists have achieved a 100-fold increase in the ability to maintain control the spins of electrons in a solid material, a key step in the development of ultrafast quantum computers.

More than 500 million years ago, single-celled organisms on the Earth's surface began forming multicellular clusters that ultimately became plants and animals. Just how that happened is a question that has eluded evolutionary biologists.
