Epigenetic aging clocks use DNA methylation patterns to measure biological age and predict health risks across human tissues.

Under the right conditions, liquid crystals condense into astonishing structures, spontaneously generating filaments and flattened discs that can transport material from one place to another, much ...

Since the advent of the Human Genome Project, scientists have expanded efforts to map complete biological datasets that encompass entire molecular families, such as DNA, RNA, proteins, and metabolites ...

At first glance, biology and quantum technology seem incompatible. Living systems operate in warm, noisy environments full of constant motion—while quantum technology often requires extreme isolation ...

Australian researchers are turning to nature for the next computing revolution, harnessing living cells and biological systems as potential replacements for traditional silicon chips. A new paper from ...

Ever better experimental techniques allow us to perform experiments under tightly controlled conditions and can deliver gigantic amounts of data reflecting the complexity of biology. This has vastly ...

At a time when conflict and division dominate the headlines, a new study from UCLA finds remarkable similarities in how mice and artificial intelligence systems each develop cooperation: working ...

Entomopathogenic nematodes (EPNs) are widely recognized as effective biological control agents for managing insect pests in agricultural systems. Their ...
