Researchers at the University of Minnesota today revealed a drone that can be controlled merely by thought, and that's not even the coolest thing about it. Published in the Journal of Neuro Engineering, the project has implications in everything from unmanned vehicles to paraplegic mobility.

Researchers at the University of Minnesota have just created an artificial enzyme in a test tube by following the rules of natural selection.

Researchers at the University of Minnesota, St. Paul, have coaxed a species of bacteria into trading their usual diet of partially-oxidized iron for a small current of electricity - a trick that may eventually make the microorganisms useful producers of biofuels.
