Scientists at Singapore's Institute of Medical Biology (IMB), in collaboration with doctors and scientists in Jordan, Turkey, Switzerland and the United States, have identified the genetic cause of a birth defect known as Hamamy syndrome.

Duke University engineers have created a master “ingredient list” describing the properties of more than 2,000 compounds that might be combined to create the next generation of quantum electronic devices.

Scientists have unravelled how the bee brain uses multiple rules to process visual problems, a breakthrough that could enable robots see as clearly as humans, a study says.

Tech giant Apple's co-founder Steve Wozniak has said that Microsoft was responsible for Macintosh's constant program crashes.

Moon is often considered as a geologically dead fixture in our sky.  However, new images returned from NASA’s Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) suggest that our natural satellite isn’t dead at all.

Sensitivity to touch is heritable and apparently linked to hearing as well, according to a new study.

Scientists at the Stanford University School of Medicine have devised a system using tiny solar-panel-like cells surgically placed underneath the retina, which may someday restore sight to people who have lost vision because of certain types of degenerative eye diseases.

Scientists including one of an Indian origin have made a breakthrough that could lead to tiny devices that harvest electrical energy from the vibrations of everyday tasks such as shutting a door or climbing stairs.
