    Wiring diagram and Functional Map of the Brain

    From a tiny sample of tissue no larger than a grain of sand, scientists have come within reach of a goal once thought unattainable: building a complete functional wiring diagram of a portion of the brain. In 1979, famed molecular biologist, Francis Crick, stated that it would be "[impossible] to...

    World's Smallest Pacemaker

    Northwestern University engineers have developed a pacemaker so tiny that it can fit inside the tip of a syringe -- and be non-invasively injected into the body. Smaller than a grain of rice, new pacemaker is particularly suited to the small, fragile hearts of newborn babies with congenital...

    Superbug Evolves globally with a new Genetic Weapon.

    A deadly hospital superbug has evolved into a global force by weaponizing a genetic tool to wipe out its microbial competition. Researchers discovered that vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium (VREfm) developed the ability to produce bacteriocins—natural bacterial toxins—to eliminate rival...
