Scientists create cells zombie exceeding acting to live versions

  Scientists at the University of New Mexico have created in laboratory cells zombie who perform their duties better than living cells. It's not science fiction. They used a group of breast cells to coat with a suspension of silicon that has completely coated nanometer level. As a result they have obtained cells 'replicants' that outperform their versions 'alive'. Not only that, but are more resistant to extreme environments such as...

Floating magnets move chasing a laser, the possible future of maglev vehicles

If you had to name two futuristic inventions that can be found today would probably maglevs lasers and these vehicles almost magically levitating through the effect of magnetism and get impressive speeds. Aoyama Gakuin University in Japan have united both concepts to give a curious invention: a magnet that levitates on a metal surface and moves chasing a point of light. The metal surface comprises a matrix of small magnets. The material on the...

Scientists find a way to implant memories in our mind

Surely we have seen several science fiction films (as Total Recall) in which an individual is implanted memories in mind. Guess what? Such things are not science fiction: they are part of reality. Scientists are now able to extract personal information directly from our mind, but now they have taken things to another level. According to a new study, scientists have been able to induce memories inside the mind of a mouse. Professor Ben...

Scientists restore vision in a mouse

Through the years, there have been reports of various cures for blindness, but this new one seems to be definitive. Researchers and scientists from the University of Berkley have managed to restore the vision of a mouse after injecting a chemical directly in their eyes. This chemical is known as AAQ, and acts as a kind of photo interrupter, and which does is to unite the ion channel proteins with cells from the surface of the retina. When exposed...
