If you've ever looked into the living conditions of astronauts in space, you probably know they make do with spartan arrangements, including mostly rehydratable meals. Fermentation could help with making a wider variety of flavorful foods available.

Using enzymes produced by a bacteria that almost everyone has in their gut, researchers have removed the antigens from red blood cells that determine blood type, putting us within reach of producing universal donor blood.

It takes tons of plant matter to make each gram of the cancer drug vinblastine. To find an alternative source, scientists have engineered yeast to produce the precursors of vinblastine, which could help make this vital drug more available and affordable.

The Kingdom of Denmark just got a teeny bit bigger after researchers from the University of Copenhagen accidentally discovered the world's northernmost island. Measuring only 100 x 200 ft, the still unnamed isle is located off the coast of Greenland.

Imagine if in order to get apple juice, the whole tree had to be ground up, and then the juice had to be separated. Well, that's kind of how things currently are with plant extracts … but perhaps not for much longer, thanks to a tiny new harvester.

Scientists have achieved quantum teleportation between two computer chips for the first time, sending information between them without being physically or electronically connected. The feat opens the door for quantum computers and quantum internet.

Currently, if you want to check water supplies for the presence of toxic bacteria, you have to take a water sample and then culture it in a lab over several days. A group of students, however, have created a sensor that they say can detect bacteria in water instantly, on the spot.
