An ambitious and revolutionary initiative aims to map every cell of all eukaryotic life on Earth. The result will be a ...

Such sensors could one day carry out MRI at the scale of individual cells or aid researchers in drug development. Fragile quantum states might seem incompatible with the messy world of biology. But ...

How could you possibly modify in any way a nearly 50-year-old electric city runabout from a company that hasn't existed in decades and for which no aftermarket parts exist? The answer is someone with ...

A scaling law relates the expected number of mutants to the total population size of cells in a spatially constrained but ...

Decades after a skull was unearthed in China’s Hubei Province, researchers said they suspect a much earlier and more complex ...

It’s a bizarre sight: With a short burst of light, a sponge-shaped robot scoots across a tiled surface. Flipped on its back, it repeatedly twitches as if doing sit-ups. By tinkering with the light’s ...

Carnegie Mellon scientists create AggreBots, tiny lung-cell robots powered by cilia with controlled motility.Word excerpt: ...

When a woman becomes pregnant, the outcome of that pregnancy depends on many things — including a crucial event that happened ...

Small fold – big role: A tissue fold known as the cephalic furrow, an evolutionary novelty that forms between the head and the trunk of fly embryos, plays a mechanical role in stabilizing embryonic ...

Rodents make up almost half of all mammals. A study looks at how the evolution of a tiny thumbnail may have propelled their spread across the globe. In the ’90s cartoon “Pinky and the Brain,” the ...

If you look at things in a certain way, hydrogen powertrains seem like a missed opportunity. Fuel cell drivetrains have been largely ignored by the automotive industry, despite the clear advantages ...

An international team of experts has resolved long-standing questions about the evolutionary history of mollusks, one of the ...
