Researchers demonstrate a prototype 3D printer that can print fully functional human skin.

Researchers at the Salk Institute create the first human-pig hybrid embryo, containing genetic information from both species.

Researchers at Japan's National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology demonstrate a robotic drone bee able to pollinate flowers.

A study in the journal Anthropocene Review concludes that human activity is changing the climate 170 times faster than natural processes.

A study by the University of Buffalo, using four decades of evidence, finds no link between immigration and higher rates of crime.

Astronomers announce the discovery of seven Earth-sized exoplanets, which may all be in the habitable zone, orbiting TRAPPIST-1, an ultra-cool dwarf star, slightly larger than the planet Jupiter, located about 40 light-years from Earth.

IBM announces "IBM Q", an initiative to build commercially available universal quantum computing systems.

Scientists at the University of Texas report a new phase of matter, dubbed a time crystal, in which atoms move in a pattern that repeats in time rather than in space.

A study by the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics suggests that fast radio bursts in distant galaxies could be evidence of advanced alien technology.

Scientists report a new way of classifying the dinosaur family tree, based on newer and more evidence than available earlier. According to the new classification, the original dinosaurs, arising 200 million years ago, were small, two-footed omnivorous animals with large grasping hands. Descendants (for the non-avian dinosaurs) lasted until 66 million years ago.

Researchers at the University of Manchester demonstrate a graphene-based sieve able to filter seawater, which could improve desalination technologies.

Researchers at Washington State University demonstrate a fluid with negative mass.

The University of California, Berkeley, creates a device that pulls water from dry air, powered only by the Sun. Even under conditions of relatively low (20-30 percent) humidity, it is able to produce 2.8 liters of water over a 12-hour period.

Wax moth larvae are reported to be able to biodegrade polyethylene, one of the toughest, most resilient, and most used plastics. The creatures may be a solution to the growing problem of plastic waste.
