Over the past several years, scientists have repeatedly demonstrated that the cells of various organisms can be repurposed into biological robots, representing stunning advancements in the field of ...

An entirely new organism has been created by combining living cells with dead cells, birthing what is being called a "third state" of existence. A team of researchers penned a new study review in the ...

Most forms of life cannot survive extreme environmental conditions, like excessive temperatures. Likewise, the significant majority of species on our planet have a set lifespan and cannot exist past a ...

Scientists have been studying the possibility of combining biological cells with robotics for several years, and have been quite successful. There are multiple different types of ‘biological robots’ ...

One of the most important molecules in living organisms has been synthesised from scratch under everyday conditions. The finding suggests that the chemical could have formed naturally early in our ...

The hydrogen atoms of [4Fe-4S] type ferredoxin, one of the electron carriers, have been visualized and both experiments and calculations have revealed the mechanisms that control the redox potential.

For the first time, scientists have directly measured “ultraweak” photon emissions from living organisms. In rats this glow fades rapidly after death. In plants it brightens under stress. In the ...
