Until now, Alzheimer’s Disease has been thought manageable but not curable. That may be about to change. Two human clinical trials – one in planning, one under way – are testing two different approaches to ending this plague. Both methods have shown positive initial results, one in mice and the other in a small group...

Bioscientists have been grown organoids – little sections of organs, including human brains – in lab dishes for years.

A barrier to wider acceptance of electric cars has been the time it takes to recharge their battery packs. What if you run low in the middle of the day and have to sit for an hour while your EV refuels? Engineers at Purdue University can ease those fears. They’ve developed a technique for “refilling”...

Question: What’s the most prominent human made object visible to astronauts orbiting the Earth? Answer: The Great Wall of China. A monumental achievement of technology. Starting in the 7th century BC, over hundreds of years and dozens of emperors, the wall eventually stretched over 13,000 miles fortified with towers, barracks, and garrison stations. Yet… Mongol...
