He studied the sea and all forms of life in water. However, now what the news is buzzing around is his grandson Fabien Cousteau has planned to live underwater for a…

NASA Lunar Science Institute (NLSI) is always excited by new citizen science opportunities, where members of the general public can help scientists solve big mysteries. Now a new Zooniverse project has been launched in association with the Medical Research Council (MRC) and the Medical Research Foundation (MRF): Worm Watch Lab, where you can help…

It has been reported in the journal Science published on March 28 that some bio-engineers at Stanford University have created a biological transistor that allows them to compute inside living cells, where it could detect disease, warn of toxic threats, and where danger lurk, even self-destruct cells gone rogue.
