A Common Food Dye Can Turn Skin, Muscle and Other Body Tissues Temporarily Transparent
Researchers at Stanford University have stumbled upon a method of making biological tissue, such as skin, muscle and connective tissue, temporarily transparent, allowing the underlying organs to be viewed without the need for x-ray imaging or surgical procedures. The technique could not only one day allow for medical imaging that

The first spacewalk by a civilian was conducted on September 12 by tech billionaire Jared Isaacman, an activity that has, until now, been the exclusive domain of professional astronauts, cosmonauts and taikonauts. On September 10 the Crew Dragon capsule Resilience that carried Isaacman and his three crewmates into orbit was launched atop one of
The Tentative First Steps To Removing Fukushima’s Nuclear Fuel Has Begun
Decommissioning teams at Japan’s Fukushima nuclear plant have begun a two-week operation aimed at retrieving a sample of the radioactive debris that remains inside the facility’s stricken nuclear reactors, using a telescoping robot custom-built for the task, thirteen years after the power plant suffered multiple meltdowns in the wake of the tsunami that
