If you take a small sample of animal tissue and encourage it to grow in vitro , separate from the original animal's body, it is possible to create an edible piece of meat.

A few years ago in central Florida, John Santarpia had an idea. He was the president and CEO of a credit union and felt he needed to do something to improve its image. "We're a medium-sized credit union and there's a lot of competition," Santarpia said

Admit it, you’ve Googled yourself to see what pops up. When I Google myself, what comes up on the first page is my company’s website, Inc.com, Wikipedia, LinkedIn, my book, my Twitter feed, and an article about my book.

By Daniel Cressey Massive Amazonian characid fish may carry seeds more than five kilometers across forest flood plains, researchers say. Although fish have long been suspected of having an important role in seed distribution, proof of their ability to carry fertile seeds such distances has been lacking. Jill Anderson, an evolutionary ecologist at Duke University in North Carolina, and her team had previously discovered thousands of seeds in the guts of Colossoma macropomum fish in Peru's Pacaya-Samiria National Reserve

The Smithsonian’s National Museum of American History recently discovered these images, the first 3-D, color stereoscopic photographs of San Francisco after the 1906 earthquake. Photographer Frederick Eugene Ives took the color images, known as kromograms, six months after the magnitude 7.8 earthquake struck the city on April 18, 1906

By Gwyneth Dickey Zakaib One thing is certain about the human costs of the radiation leaking from the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant in Japan: they will pale in comparison to the catastrophic consequences of the March 11 earthquake and tsunami that triggered the crisis. [More]

When inventor and entrepreneur Dean Kamen launched his FIRST (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology) robotics competition two decades ago, he hoped to turn engineering into a contact sport and engineering students into superstars. Judging by the FIRST Robotics Competition (FRC) held recently in New York City--which included waving mascots, bleachers filled with screaming fans, and dozens of robots throwing down--he has succeeded

X rays are so common today you probably never stop to think about them. They help check a broken wrist, a sprained ankle, the state of our teeth. But a little more than a century ago, x ray machines provided a revolution in medicine, allowing doctors to look inside the body.

Growing up, my brother and I spent many summer days at my grandparent's house. Sometimes, my grandma would bring out a 1960s Westinghouse record player that belonged to my aunt and let us play records from artists we had never heard of.

A research group at the University of Illinois has developed technology that may have lasting implications for electric vehicles (EVs) and other electronics. The group, led by Paul Braun, a professor of material sciences and engineering, has come up with technology that creates a much more rapid charging time for lithium-ion batteries, which power electronics like cellphones, laptops and defibrillators.

Animals may not be able to predict earthquakes , but many--from elephants to spiders--are quite adept at detecting vibrations that are imperceptible to humans.
