Cells from two genetically distinct macaque embryos have been combined, resulting in the first chimeric primate live birth. The newborn male's green glow reveals how large a part the injected stem cells played in development, stunning scientists.

Humans have done remarkably well in evolutionary terms, but one design flaw has to be our inability to replace lost teeth throughout our lives. Now, scientists believe they have the antibody treatment to do just that, and it could be available by 2030.

In an aerospace example of the operation being a success but the patient dying, NASA has declared a satisfactory end to its X-57 Maxwell all-electric aircraft project, despite the fact that the research plane will never leave the ground.

An adventurous professor from the University of South Florida has broken the world record for living in an underwater habitat. Joseph Dituri has called the submurged Jules’ Undersea Lodge home since March 1, and intends to remain there until June 9.

Toward the end of 2020, David Li collaborated with Google Arts and Culture on a machine learning experiment called the Blob Opera. Now Stuck Labs has developed a touchless interface that allows children to control the operatic action using gestures.

Having been responsible for designing Britain's Antarctic Research Station, Hugh Broughton Architects knows how to keep humans alive in harsh conditions. The firm is using this experience to imagine what would be required to shelter humans on Mars.

In a recent video message Donald Trump attributed his rapid COVID-19 recovery to a new experimental therapy he called ‘Regeneron’ and subsequently referred to it as a “cure”. What do we know about this new experimental drug? Is it safe? And what does it actually do?

Using a new experimental drug​, researchers at Johns Hopkins have ​​successfully reversed baldness, hair whitening and skin inflammation caused by high-fat diets in mice. It's hoped the research could lead to treatments to reverse baldness and speed wound healing.

A fascinating study has found that the ketogenic diet may improve the efficacy of a new class of cancer drug that has been inexplicably showing disappointing results in early human clinical trials.

NASA has tested three new noise reduction technologies on a series of Acoustic Research Measurement (ARM) flights, and managed to cut airframe noise during landing by more than 70 percent.

The future of commercial aircraft will probably include long, thin, flexible wings that reduce weight and drag for extra efficiency and ride comfort. NASA and Lockheed Martin's Skunk Works division have been flight testing an experimental X-56A airframe with active flutter vibration suppression.

Scaled Composites Model 401 experimental plane has completed its maiden flight. The aircraft took to the air on Wednesday as part of a program to demonstrate the company's advanced, low-cost manufacturing techniques.
