Chemistry was always my worst science subject. I was always more of a physics guy. For whatever reason, I could never grasp the periodic table, which sadly put a damper on my dream of becoming a mad scientist. You soon realize that having crazy hair just isn’t enough. So you don’t have a home laboratory for designing your diabolical compounds? ...

Yes, oxygen exists in space. No, this doesn't mean a "Space Aqua-Lung" is in development.

Researchers in Beijing have discovered how to create jello without using cows. Instead, they've created gelatin by using human products.

Ah, Finland. Home of hard-metal-cello musicians and delicious Karelian pasty. Also, apparently home to scientists who spend their time trying to drink really, really old beer. Who funds Finland's research programs, again?

At the American Association for the Advancement of Science conference in Washington, Cornell University and Wake Forest University scientists showed off technology that could lead to printing skin tissue.

Facial recognition has been standing on the edge of relevance to the average man for a while now, yet it hasn’t quite made the jump from security science to mainstream integration. Scientists at The University of Manchester have been covertly mastering the function of facial recognition from mobile phones with MoBio, and their results are impressive. �Existing mobile face trackers ...

Atomically, DNA and its components are about as tiny as we can get before we enter the realm of “I don’t know what the hell I’m looking at here.” So you can imagine how “nano” we’re talking here when we mention a nano-sized box, made of DNA, which can only be opened by a specific DNA strain. Now THAT’S security. ...

Claudia Castillo suffered from a tuberculosis infection which affected her bronchial tube making it collapse at the point where it entered her lungs. Facing a complete lung removal, Claudia instead went through a pioneering operation to have a new windpipe grown for her using her own bone marrow stem cells. Claudia, a native to Barcelona, has become the first person ...

Much of the newest level of Big Brother-type surveillance seems overly paranoid for my taste, and this just takes it to a whole new level of suspicion. Scientists at Georgia Tech have been dabbling with an idea which is the best thing since Bird’s Ass View. The prospect of producing cyborg SpyBot moth’s, which are implanted with surveillance equipment in ...

While the image might suggest that this man is taking violent measures to extract information out of this dummy baby, there is actually a scientific story to go with this awkward image. Though we wish there wasn’t. It would make the picture so much more entertaining. This $28,200 (�19,000) crash test dummy baby will help scientists better understand the trauma ...
