Researchers from University of Wisconsin-Madison (UW-MADISON) in the US have revealed that this bacteria can block the transmission of Zika in Aedes aegypti, the mosquito which is responsible for passing the virus to humans.

A team of scientists has created the world's fastest stretchable, wearable integrated circuits, an advance that could drive the Internet of Things and lead to a much more connected, high-speed wireless planet. 

Researchers from the University of Wisconsin-Madison and University of Chicago hypothesised that curiosity stems from humans' deep-seated desire to resolve uncertainty regardless of the harm it may bring.

Researchers claimed that they have developed a technology that is capable of powering electronic devices as you walk.

The results were published in the journal Entertainment Computing with Green.

A compassionate approach can lead to more help and less punishment, according to a new study.

In industry, yeasts are used to produce biofuels and to make enzymes, flavours and pigments and even drugs such as human insulin.

Like human eyes, phototransistors sense and collect light, then convert that light into an electrical charge proportional to its intensity and wavelength.

Action video games -- which feature quickly moving targets, include large amounts of clutter, and that require the user to make rapid, accurate decisions - have particularly positive cognitive impacts, says a new study.
