ScienceThere are an ever-increasing number of wireless mobile devices transmitting and receiving data, even though there's only a limited amount of bandwidth available to them. In order to keep their signals from jamming one another, scientists have replicated a system used by a cave fish.

Researchers have developed a new stem-cell-based treatment for strokes. When tested in animal models, the technique was found to reduce brain damage and help the brain heal itself faster, and the results have been promising enough that clinical human trials may follow as soon as next year.

As we rapidly approach the limitations of Moore's Law, researchers investigate nanoscale technologies and alternatives to silicon. One group of researchers has turned to nature for an answer and produced the world's first DNA-based diode.

Research has uncovered a number of promising drug targets to halt the progression of prostate cancer. By taking aim at one protein in particular, scientists have been able slow the growth of prostate cancer in mice and also activate a kill switch in the tumor cells.

New technology out of the University of Georgia allows energy generated by plants through photosynthesis to be captured before the plants can make use of it so it can be used to power electrical devices.
-
Researchers at the University of Georgia have develop a microorganism that can convert atmospheric CO2 into industrial products and, potentially, even fuel.
-
UGA researchers have developed a new phosphor that has enabled them to create what they believe is the world's first LED to produce warm white light from a single emission source.
