Entering a cell and watching its entire inner machinery at work, how DNA is copied, how proteins are assembled, or how it splits in two, has been, for decades, an impossible dream. Now, scientists at ...

What just happened? Following news that its human brain cell-powered computer can run Doom, Australian biotech startup Cortical Labs has announced it is working on two small data centers running on ...

For years, scientists have been able to print living tissue. The problem is that most of it looks more like a sparse sketch than a real organ. In the human body, cells are packed tightly together, ...

Scientists have trained a computer made from living human neurons to play the classic video game Doom, marking a strange but important step forward in biological computing. Researchers at Australian ...

A simulated cell in the early stages of division. Left half shows cytoplasm (blue cubes), mRNA degradation machinery molecules (pink), and sugar transporters (brown). Right half adds the membrane ...

As space agencies prepare for human missions to the Moon and Mars, scientists need to understand how the absence of gravity affects living cells. Now, a team of researchers has built a rugged, ...

Scientists at Rutgers University–Newark have developed a first-of-its-kind RNA-based nanotechnology that assembles itself inside living human cells and can be programmed to stop propagation of harmful ...
