Lab rats gained a “sixth sense” via brain implant that allowed them to “touch” the infrared light, according to data published in the journalNature Communications.

Team of researchers at Duke University in North Carolina, led by Dr. Miguel Nicolelis,announced during the annual conference of the American Association for the Advancement of Science in Boston that this new breakthrough opens the way for a new generation of prosthetic devices that are controlled by the brain and in the future will probably give people the ability to “see” in the infrared spectrum of electromagnetic radiation.

INCREDIBLE dashcam shots of the meteorite that tore across the skies of Russia, landing just outside Moscow by about 200+ miles and accounts seen by neighboring countries. Hearing just a few days ago that there's a asteroid 2012 DA14 passing by Earth later today, it's easy to link the two - however the European Space Agency says their experts "confirm there is

The New York Times published its report on Tuesday night, ending an “informal arrangement” among several news organizations not to disclose the location of the base.

Chemist Lee Cronin is working on a 3D printer that, instead of objects, is able to print molecules. An exciting potential long-term application: printing your own medicine using chemical inks. A professor of chemistry, nanoscience and chemical complexity, Lee Cronin and his research group investigate how chemistry can revolutionize modern technology and even create life.
