Bird flu has killed more than 20 million turkeys and chickens in the United States. The pandemic continues to rage wildly out of control. One infected bird can destroy an entire flock in days, Pravda.Ru reports. Scientists think that this virus is being spread by wild birds, but they have no idea how it is getting inside barns and other enclosed facilities so easily. Minnesota is the top producer... 

The Apple company is to launch a new program. Users of the Apple gadgets will have the possibility to test their DNA. The United States researchers contribute to the program. The iPhones are based on ResearchKit, a software platform Apple introduced in March that helps hospitals or scientists run medical studies on iPhones by collecting owners’ data from the devices’ sensors or through... 

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... 

Only three of some 150 electra dolphins are believed to have been saved, after being washed ashore in the Ibaraki Prefecture. Scientists are trying to explain the incident, while some see it as an ominous sign to a similar case before the 2011 earthquake. At least 149 melon-headed whales, a species of dolphin, were found at the Hokota beach on Friday, according to local officials. Rescue efforts were... 

Assistant professor of biomedical engineering at Duke University Charles Gersbach Researchers have gained control of gene activity through the synthetic creation of a key component of the epigenome that controls gene expression. The research was carried out by a group of scientists from the Duke University and published in the online journal Nature Biotechnology on Monday. “The epigenome is everything... 

Jupiter’s large orbital journey across the early solar system may have cleared the way for the oddball arrangement of our planetary system, scientists say, even to the point of destroying burgeoning young planets. Researchers at the California Institute of Technology created a model for the formation of Jupiter and Saturn, dubbed ‘Grand Tack,’ which shows Jupiter’s migration towards... 

Scientists at Cern could prove the controversial theory of ‘rainbow gravity’ which suggests that the universe stretches back into time infinitely, with no Big Bang. The detection of miniature black holes by the Large Hadron Collider could prove the existence of parallel universes and show that the Big Bang did not happen, scientists believe. The particle accelerator, which will be restarted this... 

The Woolly Mammoth at the Royal BC Museum, Victoria, British Columbia. Scientists at Harvard University are one step closer to bringing Woolly mammoths back to life, after successfully inserting some sequences of mammoth DNA into an elephant genome. The study is yet to be published, though, as there is still work to do. No recreation of the Ice Age would be complete without large, shaggy woolly mammoths... 

The Inuit Tribe are indigenous people who live in the Canadian Arctic, Greenland, Siberia and Alaska. Their elders have written to the National Space and Aeronautics Administration (NASA) to tell them that the earth’s axis has shifted. The elders do not believe that carbon emissions from humans are causing the current climate changes. The sky has changed, claim Inuit elders The Inuit elders note... 

American scientists have discovered a new class of drugs which dramatically slows the aging process by alleviating frailty symptoms, extending healthy lifespan and improving cardiac function. The research was carried out on animal models by a group of scientists from the Mayo Clinic and the Scripps Research Institute (TSRI) and published in the online edition of the journal Aging Cell on March 9. The... 

Half of the Studies Find Cause For Concern… The Other Half Are Studies By the GMO Food Industry Itself. Tufts University’s Director of the Research and Policy Program at the Global Development and Environment Institute (Timothy Wise) points out: There is no … consensus on the safety of GM food. A peer-reviewed study of the research, from peer-reviewed journals, found that about half of the... 

This cryo-electron tomography image reveals the internal structure of an ultra-small bacteria cell like never before. Scientists have taken the first ever extensive microscopy images of ultra-small bacteria, which are so far thought to be the smallest life forms in existence. The bacteria have an average volume of 0.009 cubic microns (a micron is one millionth of a meter), 150,000 of which could be... 

Swedish Researchers have discovered previously unknown cell types while producing an in depth map of cortical cell types and the active genes they harbor. Scientists at Karolinska Institute carried out the research with a process known as single cell sequencing, the results of which were published in the journal Science in February. The new cell types were found as the team studied some three thousand... 

Dr. Melanie Mormile, the head researcher of a team of scientists from the Missouri University of Science and Technology who found a new species of bacterium which cleans up the environment and produces hydrogen. Scientists have found a new species of bacterium which cleans up the environment and produces hydrogen, an element which may in the future reduce the world’s dependency on oil. The bacterium... 

For the first time ever, scientists have slowed down the speed of light, particles known as photons, as it traveled through free space, a study says. Scientists successfully reduced the speed of photon particles as they traveled in free space after passing through a special mask, researchers from the University of Glasgow and Heriot-Watt University, both in Scotland, said in a paper published in Science...
