Research scientists at The Institute of Molecular Biotechnology at the Austrian Academy of Sciences derived segments of a human brain from stem cells. The study was published in Nature, and it is an early opportunity to experiment using actual human brain tissue cells instead of mice or rat brains. Juergen Knoblich, an author of the…

Scientists have drawn inspiration from the ocean by creating a flying “jellyfish” robot in order to rethink flying technology. Leif Ristroph and other colleagues at New York University have created a winged prototype that moves like the aquatic creature. This particular design is more stable in air than any other insect-modeled counterpart. The frame is…
