A greater understanding of how life is coded in DNA and proteins is allowing researchers to reprogram cells to perform new and valuable functions. Could bacteria be reprogrammed to provide clean energy? Or even medicine?
Squares A and B above are actually the same color. Don't believe it? Thanks to expert Steve Franconeri, we have proof and more information about how your brain interprets what you see.
Solar energy may be the answer to our dependence on fossil fuels. Researchers are now looking at nature’s model for converting sunlight into usable energy—photosynthesis—to design innovative and less expensive solar cells.
For solar power to emerge as our renewable energy solution, the price must be right. How are researchers working to make solar energy less expensive and more widespread?
Could aliens really exist? And how do we know? The Adler Planetarium's Mark Hammergren helps us shed some light on the facts (and fiction!) of extraterrestrial life.
