3D printing may indeed allow for the creation of intricate objects, but what happens if you want to apply a coating to all of those nooks and crannies? Well, a newly-adapted technology should let you do so easily, with a minimum of waste.

It's safe to say that a warming world is going to lead to greater discomfort for many of its inhabitants, but a new study out of Rutgers University is delving into the details of what this could look like come the end of the century.

A couple of years ago, we heard about a robotic device that was designed to draw blood samples. And while it had only been tested on artificial arms at the time, it's now been successfully trialed on real live humans.

In nature, pest insects and other parasites latch onto their hosts by inserting backward-facing barbs into their tissue. Scientists have now copied that strategy, in a system that could someday replace painful hypodermic needles.

Underwater glacier melting can be hard to study. But now, researchers have used robotic kayaks to monitor plumes of freshwater coming from beneath glaciers, and found that they’re melting much faster than we thought.

Researchers have created a portable device they say can determine the efficacy of patient-specific cancer drugs with an accuracy of almost 96 percent. Teaming sensors with machine learning, the device provides rapid results, aiding the selection of better drugs while reducing potential side effects.

After studying proteins that are key to metabolism in modern cells, researchers reverse engineered a simplified protein that may have been responsible for kickstarting the process in ancient times. And to prove the idea, they then implanted it into living bacteria and found that it works just fine.

Although many people do send paper off to be recycled, the recycling process isn't entirely eco-friendly – it requires a lot of power, and incorporates toxic chemicals. Now, however, scientists have developed a method of simply removing the printed text from sheets of paper, so they can be reused.

Bacteria can share genes with each other to quickly develop resistance to antibiotics. A new genetic study of bacteria from around the world has found that isolated populations share incredibly similar “molecular memories,” suggesting they’re basically flying around the world to spread their genes.

ScienceA new study offers insight into the oft-cited correlation between coffee consumption and a decreased risk of developing Parkinson’s disease. The discovery reveals a coffee compound called EHT works synergistically with caffeine to potentially protect the brain from neurodegeneration.

Researchers at Rutgers University have made an exciting breakthrough, describing a new method of artificial photosynthesis that can convert carbon dioxide into the building blocks for plastics and other materials, and do so with greater efficiency and much more cheaply than ever before.

Although its cause isn't clearly understood, Gulf War Illness affects approximately 250,000 of the 697,000 veterans who served in Operation Desert Storm/Desert Shield. Many of those people may be helped by a new device which minimizes dizziness, one of the key symptoms of the disorder.
