The GPR133 receptor is expressed by osteoblasts, the cells that make bone. The study suggests that this receptor helps those cells sense two kinds of input: mechanical strain and signals relayed by ...

Biomaterials are specifically engineered to support tissue, nerve and muscle regeneration across the body, yet physicians and ...

Scientists want to redesign psychedelics so that they don’t induce a trip—but they still improve mental health.

Try searching for your own micrometeorites by collecting particulates from roofs or drain spouts. Use a magnet to see if any particles are attracted, and discard nonmagnetic ones. Use your microscope ...

Could "magic" mushrooms soon be legal for therapeutic use in Minnesota? A new bill would create a legal pathway for just that. Read more about the bill here: ...

Chemists have created the first-ever half-Möbius molecule. The orbitals of the 13-carbon ring twist by only a quarter turn ...

Scientists created a tiny matrix that stores data by etching its grid into a thin ceramic film with a focused ion beam.

Scientists have created the smallest QR code in the world, measuring just 3.07 × 10⁻⁹ square inches (1.98 square micrometers). It can preserve data for thousands of years and it's so small that you ...

There are small miracles of nature that we miss so much. The fine details of the natural world can be shown as minute as the veins of a leaf, the wings of an insect, or the tiny grains of pollen when ...

We can use our nanoparticles to measure water or soil polluted with a toxic contaminant, feed the data into the algorithms, and the machine will find the most important features and match them to a ...

For those of us who weren't paying attention, over the last few years, scientists around the world have been one-upping each other in a bid to create the smallest QR code that can be reliably read.
