Researchers develop customisable 3D printed heart valve that can improve outcomes of surgeries

Cardiologists preparing to perform heart valve replacements can now use customisable 3D-printed models of the organ to assist them with the surgeries.

The magnetic field of Uranus flips on and off like a switch: Study based on data collected by NASA's Voyager

This is much different from Earths magnetosphere, which typically only switches between open and closed in response to changes in the solar wind.

Researchers build simple DNA machines that can be used for making molecular computers

The machines can switch reversibly between two different shapes and could be used to make nanotech sensors, amplifiers and even a molecular computer.

Georgia Tech survey shows most selfies on Instagram are for flaunting appearance

More than half of selfies on Instagram are posted to show off a persons appearance, including make-up and clothes, scientists say.

Meet Shimon, a four armed marimba-playing robot that composes its own tunes

The compositions by the robot sound like a fusion of jazz and classical music.

What scientists are saying about LIGO's third discovery of gravitational waves from colliding black holes

The discovery of gravitational waves for the first time in 2016 was the biggest science story of the year, if not the century.

Georgia Tech researchers discover combination of Android features that makes the OS vulnerable

The vulnerability could lead to a new class of malicious strikes, which the researchers have dubbed as "Cloak and Dagger" attacks.

Georgia Tech researchers make two swarms of autonomous drones fight each other

Two swarms of autonomous drones engaged each other in a simulated battle at a military facility in the US

Georgia Tech researchers develop 4D printing technique to create shape shifting objects

The technique uses layers of shape memory polymers, with the layers designed to respond differently to heat.

Saturn's moon Titan has sticky electrically charged sand that lets you build sandcastles without water

The particles that cover the surface of Saturn's largest moon, Titan, are "electrically charged", show results of an experiment
