Robots and cameras of the future could be made of liquid crystals, thanks to a new discovery that significantly expands the potential of the chemicals already common in computer displays and digital watches.

There are concerns about the possibility of brain organoids developing consciousness. Researchers have sought to shed light on the intricate ethical landscape of brain organoid research and have proposed three methods for obtaining consent from donors.

Researchers from Japan demonstrate that gene editing can enhance the effectiveness of rejuvenated cytotoxic T lymphocytes for targeted immunotherapy.

Increasingly, scientists are turning to the human brain as a model for solving computing challenges related to artificial intelligence and nanodevices. But doing so requires materials that can mimic our neural circuits at the very smallest scale.

Salk scientists unveil RNA capabilities that enable Darwinian evolution at a molecular scale, and bring researchers closer to producing autonomous RNA life in the laboratory.

According to a new study, an ancient group of fish called gars have the slowest rate of molecular evolution among all jawed vertebrates, meaning their genome changes more slowly than those of other animals.

In a collaborative study, researchers from Kyushu University and Harvard Medical School have identified proteins that can turn or “reprogram” fibroblasts into cells with similar properties to limb progenitor cells.

A study of people in 15 countries reveals that while everyone favors rhythms with simple integer ratios, biases can vary quite a bit across societies.

Problems with iron levels in the blood and the body’s ability to regulate this important nutrient as a result of SARS-CoV-2 infection could be a key trigger for long COVID, new research has discovered.

McGill researchers find evidence that partially replacing red and processed meat with plant protein foods can increase lifespan and mitigate climate change.
