Bees protect crops from pests by sound alone
The mechanism whereby embryonic cells stop being flexible and turn into more mature cells that can develop into specific tissues has been discovered. The discovery has significant consequences towards furthering research that will eventually make possible medical cell replacement therapy based on the use of embryonic cells.

A new article in Nature Cell Biology has shown how to increase the length of root hairs on plants, potentially improving crop yields, as plants with longer root hairs take up minerals and water more efficiently.
Magnetic resonance imaging alternated with mammography at six-month intervals can detect breast cancers not identified by mammography alone, according to new research.

In our globalized world, consumers are exposed to marketing messages in many languages. But a new study says messages expressed in people’s native languages are most effective at triggering emotional reactions.
Groundbreaking, Inexpensive, Pocket-sized Ultrasound Device Can Help Treat Cancer, Relieve Arthritis
A prototype of a therapeutic ultrasound device fits in the palm of a hand, is battery-powered and packs enough punch to stabilize a gunshot wound or deliver drugs to brain cancer patients. It is wired to a ceramic probe, called a transducer, and it creates sound waves so strong they instantly cause water to bubble, [...]
Research done by scientists in Italy and Switzerland has shown that carbon nanotubes may be the ideal ’smart’ brain material. Their results are a promising step forward in the search to find ways to ‘bypass’ faulty brain wiring.
