Researchers have created a new ultra-tough structure whose strength had only been theorized previously. The nanoscale carbon lattice made using 3D printing technology boasts a much greater strength-to-density ratio than diamonds.

A new study into teen technology use and mental health problems found no link between smartphone use and mental health issues.

According to the authors of a new paper, the energy infrastructure we’ve already constructed is more than enough to warm the planet beyond levels considered safe, and that’s before we start to consider future power plants currently in the pipeline.

Squids, octopi and cuttlefish are able to change the color of their skin thanks to specialized cells known as chromatophores. Scientists have now replicated the manner in which those cells work, resulting in a flexible material that can either trap or release heat as needed.

Currently, in order to reshape cartilage such as that within the nose, incisions and sutures are typically required. Not only is the procedure invasive, but it can also result in scarring. Now, however, scientists have demonstrated a new method of cartilage-reshaping that requires no cutting.

In an exciting advance in the burgeoning world of bespoke cancer treatments, scientists have developed a new immunotherapy screening technology that greatly accelerates the creation of drugs that can target individual tumors with 100-percent specificity.

Current snake antivenom might not be saving lives as efficiently as it could, given that they’re difficult and expensive to produce, distribute and administer. Now, researchers have developed a synthetic alternative with a long shelf-life that can neutralize venom from several species of snakes.

There are a couple of reasons that scar tissue looks different than regular skin – it lacks hair follicles, and it has no fat cells. Recently, though, scientists succeeded in addressing both factors. They're now able to get wounds to heal with regenerated skin, instead of with scar tissue.

By designing nanowires with a special protective coating, researchers have created an electrode that withstands hundreds of thousands of cycles, serving as a proof of concept for longer-lasting batteries to power everything from smartphones to spacecraft.
-
Researchers have developed a one-step test that can detect hepatitis C using only a urine sample, offering the potential to boost the availability of diagnosis and efforts to curb the virus around the world.
-
In 2013, researchers from Yale University reported the discovery of a molecular switch that enabled the rigid brains of adult mice to return to the high levels of plasticity found in juvenile brains. Now a team at UC Irvine has achieved similar results using a different approach.

Researchers from the University of California at Irvine are developed a stick-on covering that could let soldiers hide from infrared light. It utilizes the same protein that's found in squids' color-changing skin.
