Researchers have built a realistic human mini spinal cord in the lab and used it to simulate traumatic injury. The model reproduced key damage seen in real spinal cord injuries, including inflammation ...

Scientists have traditionally studied how the brain controls movement by asking patients to perform structured tasks while connected to multiple sensors in a lab. While these studies have provided ...

Last year, in July, Reine Protacio’s experiments suddenly stopped working. Every scientist encounters baffling results from time to time; you chalk it up to error, repeat the experiment, and hope for ...

A student in an Advanced Placement biology class might dissect a fetal pig to study internal organs and the skeleton. But can a student get the same level of experience from a virtual dissection ...

A virtual laboratory under development at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro aims to let students experiment with physics concepts without physically being in a lab. Computer simulations ...

At the University of Sydney, a Ph.D. student has recreated a tiny slice of outer space and used it to make cosmic dust from ...

Laboratory experiments are controlled empirical methods conducted in artificial or semi-artificial settings to isolate, manipulate, and measure specific variables under reproducible conditions. They ...

If the Unit Operations Lab can navigate a pandemic, then we all can. In our Be Brief format, we explore the challenges and adaptations of lab courses. Teaching labs is what we do. More than 95% of ...
