For the first time ever, Chinese scientists report having successfully edited human embryos’ genomes. The breakthrough has, however, also revived heated debate about the ethical feasibility of such experiments, which are feared to lead to eugenics. The 16-person team of researchers was based at the Sun Yat-Sen University in Guangzhou, China, and led by Junjiu Huang, a gene-function researcher. They... 

When it comes to fast trains, Japan takes top honors thanks to German brilliance and Japanese precision. A trailblazing maglev, short for ‘magnetic levitation’, train has set a world speed record during a test run near Mount Fuji, clocking over 600kph (373mph). The new record comes less than a week after the seven-car train clocked 590kph, breaking its own 2003 record of 581kph. The maglev hovers... 

Coffee can be considered a healthy drink, as it can protect you from cancer, the latest Swedish study has found. It follows other research on the pros of coffee in fighting off the potentially deadly disease. “The caffeine turns off the signal paths to breast cancer cells. This results in slower cell proliferation and increased cell death,” said Ann Rosendahl, a researcher at Lund University and... 

Even though Nokia can’t do any manufacturing until 2016 as per the contract with Microsoft, the company is still prepping the Nokia C1 phablet for a launch this year. As usual, Foxconn will be making the handset for the Finnish company and from a series of leaked renders of the phone, we are looking at a pretty attractive device. I might be biased here, since I’m a huge Nokia fan and love flat,... 

A truly chilling Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR) report written in conjunction with the Ministry of Healthcare (MoH) is warning today that the United States is on the verge of a catastrophic “canine apocalypse” due to a Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) and Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL/ISIS) bio-attack plot designed to plunge America into a “calculated and deliberate” state... 

British scientists have invented a robot that cooks, working in a ‘smart kitchen,’ capable of mimicking Michelin-starred chefs to prepare food from a menu of over 2,000 dishes. A team of scientists from London have unveiled their invention of a robotic cook which they hope will go on sale to consumers in 2017, able to recreate dishes prepared by top chefs in the comfort and convenience... 

A new breathalyzer has been developed which uses nanoarray analysis enabling it to detect stomach cancer, a report says. Gut journal published a new study on the breathalyzer, which uses the analysis to detect tiny changes in exhaled breath caused by volatile organic compounds (VOCs) emitted by cancerous cells. The new device could possibly be used as well to provide clues to the early stages of the... 

NASA will pay $18,000 to anyone prepared to stay in bed for 10 weeks and submit to a gruelling regime of tests for more than three months. The only criteria are the candidates have to be healthy and American citizens. Scientists will constantly examine the lucky ones, who are selected, for 70 days. The research is being carried out to simulate how effective exercise is on astronauts, who lose cardiovascular,... 

Israeli scientists have discovered two proteins that they claim can contain cancer and control the cells’ growth and development. A team of Israeli researchers headed by Professor Aaron Ciechanover, an Israeli Nobel Prize winner in chemistry, has discovered two proteins that they say can suppress cancer and control the cells’ growth and development, media reports said. The relevant study was carried... 

In this image, captured by the Gemini Observatory, shows at least three recent supernovas exploding on camera for the first time on May 21, 2008. It is suspected that these interactions sparked the formation of massive stars and the resulting fury of supernovae activity in this galaxy. The universe may not be expanding since the Big Bang as fast as it was previously thought, astronomers say. The discovery... 

Doctors seem to be a step closer to performing a breakthrough surgery: transplanting a human head onto another body. A Russian man with a rare genetic muscle-wasting disorder has volunteered to be the first to try the procedure. “I’m very interested in technology, and anything progressive that might change people’s lives for the better,” Valery Spiridonov from the Russian city of Vladimir,... 

A high-ranking scientist with the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) has predicted that human beings will find signs of alien life by 2025. “I think we’re going to have strong indications of life beyond Earth within a decade, and I think we’re going to have definitive evidence within 20 to 30 years,” The Independent quoted NASA chief scientist Ellen Stofan... 

A Chinese supercomputer ranked fastest in the world four years running could soon slip from that top spot: Intel, the US-based microprocessor maker, says it’s been blocked by the US government from selling chips to China. Representatives for Intel Corp. confirmed to the Wall Street Journal this week that it’s stopped shipping microprocessor chips to Chinese customers after the US Department of...
