Inspired by biological systems, materials scientists have long sought to harness self-assembly to build nanomaterials. The challenge: the process seemed random and notoriously difficult to predict.

Researchers from Würzburg, Braunschweig, and the US identifiy Cas12a3 nuclease showing precise activity. Their study is ...

Ultimately, Mars will test our biology more than our technology. Every gram of muscle preserved, every synapse protected, every cell repaired will be a triumph of physiology. Space may dismantle the ...

A 200,000-year-old molar from Denisova Cave has provided a glimpse into the life of Denisovans, revealing startling new ...

Biology has always been an unruly science. Cells divide when they want to. Genes switch on and off like temperamental lights.

Scientists at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital have revealed previously unappreciated roles for the retrotransposon LINE ...

Seeing plastic trash while hiking inspired a Rutgers chemist to rethink why synthetic plastics last forever while natural ...

Randomness inside cells can decide whether a cancer returns after chemotherapy or whether an infection survives antibiotics.
