Cats purr to grab their owners' attention, but it can be difficult for us to connect with our pets. A new study suggests slow blinking may be the key.

Jackson Ryan was CNET's science editor, and a multiple award-winning one at that. Earlier, he'd been a scientist, but he realized he wasn't very happy sitting at a lab bench all day. Science writing, ...

You do it about 14,000 times a day without thinking. That’s once every four seconds on average. Blinking seems like the most mundane bodily function imaginable, but it turns out those tiny eye ...

Human blinking is somewhat of a mystery to scientists. While it’s well known that eye-blinking is done to lubricate the cornea, these seemingly spontaneous flashes happen at a rate that’s greater than ...

Researchers at Kyoto University's Institute for Integrated Cell-Material Sciences (iCeMS) have developed a device that moves fluids over corneal cells similarly to the movement of tears over a ...

Enter the blinking eye-on-a-chip: an artificial human eye replica constructed in the laboratory of Penn Engineering researchers. This eye-on-a-chip, complete with a blinking eyelid, is helping ...

Engineers with the University of Pennsylvania's School of Engineering and Applied Science have revealed their newly developed 'eye-on-a-chip,' a small eye-shaped device that can be used as a drug ...

Researchers at Kyoto University's Institute for Integrated Cell-Material Sciences (iCeMS) have developed a device that moves fluids over corneal cells similarly to the movement of tears over a ...

The latest iteration of an eye-on-a-chip has a mechanical eyelid to simulate blinking and was used to test an experimental drug for dry eye disease. By incorporating human cells into an engineered ...

Researchers have developed a device that moves fluids over corneal cells similarly to the movement of tears over a blinking eye. The scientists hope their findings will help improve ophthalmic drug ...

People who spend eight or more hours a day staring at a computer screen may notice their eyes becoming tired or dry, and, if those conditions are severe enough, they may eventually develop dry eye ...
