Gene editing, neuroscience, evolutionary biology, and the life sciences shaping medicine and our understanding of living systems.
Scientists successfully froze Texas horned lizard sperm for the first time. Post-thaw motility hit 38% — enough to bank genetics…
A rigorous new analysis shows your memories could be a random cosmic fluctuation — and the second law of thermodynamics is no de…
A new theoretical framework argues human irrationality, memory distortion, and inner conflict aren't cognitive flaws — they're t…
Researchers found that a simple blood test called Fischer's ratio can help predict which kidney failure patients have a higher ris…
Researchers at Peking University have mapped the entire pipeline for building DNA-based molecular robots — from nanoscale joints…
Scientists named a new species of ancient crocodile relative found in Gloucestershire, England. Galahadosuchus jonesi walked uprig…
Researchers at Peking University have built nanoscale machines from DNA strands that can move, sense, and deliver drugs inside the…
Your DNA can spell the same instruction dozens of ways. Scientists just proved the spelling choice quietly decides how much of a p…
Penn scientists found that telomere length is decided in the embryo's first cell divisions — not by genes alone, but by which pa…
500 million years ago, a tiny green organism crawled out of the ocean and rewrote Earth's future. Here's the fascinating story of …
Scientists used quantum-level GW calculations to screen 55 metal cations and identify ion-exchanged PHI photocatalysts that produc…
Scientists froze a living mouse brain to −196°C and recovered full memory-forming function. This 2026 PNAS study is the closest…
A 90-million-year-old Alnashetri fossil from Patagonia just dismantled everything paleontologists thought they knew about how smal…
A hair-thin flake of the ferroelectric mineral CuInP2S6 has shattered birefringence records in the blue-ultraviolet range — and …
Hundreds of studies link health insurance to better health — but does coverage actually cause better outcomes? A landmark review…
A Japanese shrub depends entirely on a seed-eating beetle for pollination — then drops infested fruits early. New research revea…
A landmark algorithm called Conservatory has catalogued 2.3 million conserved non-coding sequences across 284 plant species — in…
A Harvard-led COSMOS trial of 958 adults found Centrum Silver slowed two mortality-predicting epigenetic clocks — PCGrimAge and …
For 50 years, protein folding defeated science's best minds. Then DeepMind built AlphaFold — and solved it in minutes. Here's wh…
A 7 Tesla MRI study from Fudan University has mapped the exact mechanism the hippocampus uses to distinguish familiar from unfamil…
