Kukri snakes slice open toads and frogs before inserting their heads into their bodies and and eating their organs one by one while the prey is still alive, scientists report. Biologists have published three studies, each detailing the horrifying feeding behaviour in one of three different species of kukri snakes in Asia. The three closely … Read more

But a new study suggests organs from elderly donors can be ‘rejuvenated’ by making them ‘younger.’ Researchers say anti-aging drugs can ‘turn back the clock’ on hearts, livers, kidneys and lungs by getting rid of … Read more
A new ‘cyborg-like’ technology has been developed to safely merge electronic devices with human tissue to better monitor health and track tumours. Scientists from the University of Delaware found a way to attach devices inside a human body by connecting it to tissue using a coating that is more energy efficient. Connecting electronics to tissue … Read more
