Scientists may eventually be able to biologically engineer unique artificial lifeforms from scratch. A new study from Princeton has brought that future a step closer, by confirming that an artificial protein the team developed functions as an enzyme in living bacteria.

After a 20-year search, astronomers have uncovered a grand total of 1,900 planets residing outside of the Solar System. According to a new study, the Gaia space observatory could help that figure grow by a factor of ten by the end of the decade, reaching 70,000 planets after 10 years.

Researchers at Princeton University claim to have come up with a way to use nanotechnology to increase the output of organic LEDs by 57 percent. The clarity in LED displays has also been increased by 400 percent. And all in a cheap, printable form.

Scientists at Princeton University have developed a quantum system that locks individual photons together in such a way that they behave like a solid or liquid. The research impacts on our understandings of quantum mechanics, and it may lead to the creation of room-temperature superconductors.

Finger-prick tests to monitor blood glucose levels can be the bane of a diabetic's life. In a move that could put an end to such tests in the future, researchers at Princeton University have developed a non-invasive way to test blood glucose levels using a laser.

Researchers at Princeton University have converted CO₂ into water and formic acid by using an electrochemical cell powered by a commercially available solar panel.

With powerful detectors buried deep in an Italian mountain, a team of researchers is looking to verify the existence of that most elusive of the Universe's ingredients, dark matter.

To show off the capabilities of the new Hyper-Suprime Cam (HSC) on Mauna Kea, Hawaii, researchers have released high resolution images of the Andromeda galaxy that not only show off incredible detail, but may help shed light on the evolution of the Universe and the distribution of dark matter.

A Princeton University team has successfully combined biology and electronics by means of 3D printing, creating a bionic ear that can "hear" radio waves.

Research conducted at Princeton and Rutgers Universities offers hope of synthetic catalysts that could produce hydrogen from water more efficiently.

Scientists have created a new sandwich-like material, that is said to boost the efficiency of organic solar cells by 175 percent.

A new theory could help overcome the density limit problem and help fusion power to become a reality.
