Bumblebees can breathe underwater by surrounding themselves with an air pocket that acts like a diving bell, scientists ...

Bacteriophage T7, a virus that preys on E. coli, becomes a more effective killer after spending time aboard the International ...

Researchers at OpenAI and Ginkgo Bioworks showed that an AI model working with an autonomous lab can design and iterate real ...

Neuroscientists have uncovered new insights into a key evolutionary question: Why can humans talk when most animals can't?

For decades, scientists have recognized that human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) is a formidable viral pathogen. After years ...

Bacteria and the viruses that infect them are perpetually at war. Their deadly clashes push both kinds of microbes to evolve ...

Scientists have discovered that cells can sense far beyond the surfaces they touch. While individual cancer cells can probe about 10 microns ahead by tugging on surrounding collagen fibers, clusters ...

Researchers have revealed how bacteria precisely control the genes that trigger cell division. The study shows that the MraZ protein, which normally forms a donut-shaped structure, must bend and ...

For years, biomolecular condensates were thought to be simple, liquid-like droplets with little internal organization. New ...

Baylor University researchers have developed a novel approach to fight colorectal cancer, using modified bacteria as a courier to deliver potent cancer-killing proteins into tumor cells. Michael S.

Molecular dynamics is a method that uses Newton’s equations of motion to computationally simulate the time evolution of a set of interacting atoms. Such techniques are dependent on a description of ...

From cancer to Alzheimer’s: could a renewed focus on energy transform biomedicine? Including energy dynamics in research could improve our understanding of diseases and of the healing processes that ...
