In 2007, Harvard scientists figured out how to combine fluorescent proteins to create an entire color palette, and then used it to make mouse neurons glow so they could be traced through the brain. The "Brainbow" technique has helped scientists follow neurons' connections,

In sci-fi lore, one of the great qualifying events leading up to the eventual war with and enslavement by our machines is the moment when robots begin replicating - that is, they begin manufacturing themselves without help from humans. If that's the case, then the latest

Thanks to biotechnology and widespread genetic modification, the meal you'll enjoy tomorrow certainly isn't your grandma's feast
Since they were introduced 15 years ago, genetically modified foods have taken astonishing hold in North America. This time of

The bar code tags do not remain in the fully grown organism
Critics of the selection that's often involved in assisted reproductive technology - picking a 5'10", blond-haired, Ivy League grad egg donor, for example - say it turns conceiving a baby into a shopping

\Like a child, a stem cell can grow up to be just about anything. Eventually it picks a job, however, during a process called differentiation. Scientists can influence, if not always control, the outcome by applying compounds called growth factors. Now Jianping Fu, a
