Biology has always been an unruly science. Cells divide when they want to. Genes switch on and off like temperamental lights.

In 2025, artificial intelligence moved from pilot projects to practical use across the U.S. military. From Army intel and ...

Thousands of people are thought to have died within the walls of Unit 731, a secret biological warfare research facility operated by the Imperial Japanese Army ...

When the US Department of Energy announced that it would stop funding the tokamak at MIT’s Plasma Science and Fusion Center, ...

Despite the long-standing reputation of each, as well as distinct underlying physics, laser speckle contrast imaging (LSCI) ...

For nearly a century, biologists have relied on a simple rule to predict how microbes grow when food is scarce, a rule that ...

Scientists have long known that mutations in certain genes affecting microtubules in plants can cause plants to grow in a twisting manner. In most cases, these are “null mutations,” meaning the ...

Laser speckle contrast imaging (LSCI) and imaging photoplethysmography (IPPG) are two simple, contact-free, camera-based ways to analyse cerebral ...

This plant root was among those studied as part of new research exploring the molecular underpinnings of how plants twist their roots. (Image: Dixit ...

Seals give birth only when conditions are right. After mating, a female seal can delay implantation of the embryo in the ...

Life may have emerged from a surprisingly simple network of chemical reactions long before cells or genes existed.

Carrot side streams often end up as waste. Using such material for protein production reduces disposal problems and saves resources. No extra farmland or water becomes necessary. Production happens ...
