New research sheds light on the ages of ice deposits reported in the area of the Moon's south pole — information that could help identify the sources of the deposits and help in planning future human exploration.
Molecular biologists have pinpointed a gene that allows chlamydia to take up DNA from its host environment.
Read moreA research team has demonstrated how it could improve upon the ability of nature's exquisitely selective collection of antimicrobial enzymes to attack bacteria in a way that's much less likely to cause bacterial resistance.
Read moreSensitive synthetic skin enables robots to sense their own bodies and surroundings – a crucial capability if they are to be in close contact with people. Inspired by human skin, a team has developed a system combining artificial skin with control algorithms and used it to create the first autonomous humanoid robot with full-body artificial skin.
