Combining metals to produce alloys that are stronger or tougher requires extremely high temperatures as part of the process. Researchers in Australia have found that a radically different approach could yield even better alloys with a lot less heat.

Chinese researchers have taken a big step toward a world in which we can cultivate organs for transplant, with the first-ever embryo-disc model that can support and grow the seed cells needed in vitro. It's also a huge leap for regenerative medicine.

If you've ever wonder why you remember surprise events more vividly than the predictable, new research has uncovered how the brain encodes novel information in more detail than the familiar, allocating energy away from what it already knows.
