Researchers from Johns Hopkins University have found a superconducting material naturally stable in two states at once, which is useful for quantum computers.

Scientists at Johns Hopkins University are beginning a world-first human clinical trial on the effects of psilocybin therapy in persons with anorexia.

The Van Allen Probes have been set on a trajectory that will plunge the radiation belt satellites into the Earth's atmosphere. In order to keep the pair of spacecraft from becoming a hazard to navigation, a series of thruster maneuvers will place them in ever-tightening orbits ending around 2034.

Scientists at the US Army Research Laboratory are working on software to help fallen military robots right themselves. The purpose of this is not only to make such battlefield bots more efficient, but also less dependent on their soldier partners for support.

​Camouflage is common in animals, but blending in visually won’t help prey evade predators who hunt through echolocation. Researchers have studied how luna moths evolved twisted tails as a form of acoustic camouflage that bounces sound waves in all directions to keep bats from homing in on them.

John Hopkins University scientists have created soft robotic microgrippers that can safely dissolve within a living body once they've performed surgical procedures, delivered drugs or performed other tasks.

Not much is known about how tumor cells travel to different parts of the body, a process known as metastasis. But engineers have created a device that is offers a new perspective, allowing researchers an up-close look at the cells as they spread, potentially unearthing new methods of treatment.

Researchers from John Hopkins Kimmel Cancer Center have developed a modified version of the bacteria Clostridium novyi that triggers an anti-tumor response in rats, dogs and humans. The breakthrough could complement existing methods to provide better targeted treatment of cancerous growths.
