New software has been developed that incorporates all the complexities of the equations of Einstein's general theory of relativity to help produce models of the cosmos far more complex and detailed than ever before constructed

Researchers have identified slow-moving brainwaves they say could be carried only by the brain's gentle electrical field, a mechanism previously thought to be incapable of spreading neural signals on its own.​​

There are already stem cells that are capable of repairing the damage done by multiple sclerosis, but getting them to do so has proven very difficult. Now, however, scientists may have found the answer – and it involves medications that were designed to treat athlete's foot and eczema.

Scientists have discovered a potential treatment that may steer cancer cells toward their own destruction. The study focused on a particular gene found to influence levels of a tumor-fighting protein, the increased presence of which makes cancer cells more vulnerable to existing forms of treatment.

A new study at Case Western Reserve University is now advancing the radical new hypothesis that dark matter may in fact be made not of exotic subatomic particles, but rather of macroscopic objects which would mass anywhere from a tennis ball to a dwarf planet and as dense as a neutron star.

A new prosthetic system allows amputees to feel familiar sensations and also, somewhat unexpectedly, reduces their phantom pain. Test patients were able to discern materials of different textures while blindfolded and to hold soft or brittle objects without crushing them.

In the same way that a spliced-in wire can circumvent a broken electrical connection, scientists have recently demonstrated that a brain-machine-brain interface can restore lost abilities to brain-damaged rats. The research could lead to the development of devices for treatment of humans.

Researchers at Case Western Reserve University (CWRU) have been selected by ARPA-E to carry out a one year project aimed at developing a low cost method to obtain titanium metal from its ore. The process could lower the cost of the metal by up to 60 percent.

A team of mathematicians at Case Western Reserve have proven that all macroscopic parts of the world are entangled quantum mechanically.

Scientists have created a new material inspired by squid beaks, that could be used in medical implants.

Researchers have solved the mystery as to how insulin binds to the insulin receptor on the surface of cells, offering the potential for the development of new and improved insulin medications to treat type 1 and type 2 diabetes.

Scientists have created lenses that refract light in the same fashion as the lens in the human eye.
