Finnish researchers have been working for decades to develop a prototype vaccine for Type 1 diabetes and on July 19, 2017, it was announced that human trials would begin in 2018. The study has been funded by the EU Exalt program with 6 million euros.

Dogs have always showered humans with unconditional love. Research finally tells us why dogs are so friendly-man’s best friend is apparently genetically predisposed to be good natured and a great companion.

The physical and chemical properties of real space dirt cannot be replicated by artificial space dirt. This is a cause of concern as it could lead to misleading research results. An asteroid-mining company has started making near-authentic space dirt in a scientific manner; this dirt is meant to represent the surfaces of four classes of asteroids.

In a suburb of Beijing, a self-sustaining ecosystem with minimal resources has been created for four students and aspiring astronauts of Beijing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics.
