​Stress has some mysterious effects on the human body, with more and more research linking its presence to all kinds of negative health outcomes. Now scientists have developed a new kind of sensor that can be used to keep tabs on stress levels, requiring just single drop of bodily fluid.

​We're increasingly seeing 3D-printed metal components being used in fields such as aviation, where failures could be catastrophic. It's therefore very important to check those items for structural flaws before they're installed, and the best way of doing so may involve freezing them in ice.

To avoid a future where once-routine procedures become life-threatening again, new ways to fight bacteria need to be developed. A new study has now shown oxygen can be weaponized against antibiotic-resistant bacteria, by way of nanoparticles activated by light.

​A new online map highlights the places which could be hardest hit by climate change. It can be used to compare climates of different locations around the world. Its creators say it could help predict places where extreme weather events like tornadoes could happen in the future.

Evolution has a way of helping life adapt to the most extreme of environments. In the case of the Mexican cavefish, help comes in the form of blindness and a skull that skews to the left. The reason for such a strange arrangement? So it can find food in the pitch black darkness of its habitat.

A recent discovery of fossilized bacteria dating to about 2.5 billion years ago provides long-sought-for evidence that the Earth was crawling with life even though it lacked much oxygen during a phase in our planet's development known as the Neoarchean Eon.

An Artificial Intelligence (AI) called ALPHA has consistently beaten other AIs and a retired United States Air Force Colonel in a high-fidelity, air-combat simulator using a genetic-fuzzy system to do what was thought to be the job of supercomputers.​

A new study has looked to identify a biomarker to help predict the response of head and neck cancer tumors to treatment, by looking to the detection of the cancer-causing gene DEK in patient plasma.

Scientists at the University of Cincinnati and the US Air Force Research Laboratory are developing a system in which a Band-Aid-like skin patch is able to gather and transmit medical data in almost real time, by analyzing the patient's sweat ... and you just need a smartphone to read it.

A team from the University of Cincinnati and AMP Electric Vehicles have created a package-delivering UAV that could make short flights from a traveling delivery van, using that van as a mobile charging station and package depot.

A pair of researchers at the University of Cincinnati have developed the SmartLight system, which is designed to direct sunlight into dark, dingy rooms located within the bowels of buildings without requiring the installation of new wiring, ducts, tubes or cables.

Researchers have developed an e-ink technology that's quick enough to competently display full color video - but so cheap that it can be completely disposable.
