DNA computers can use biological material to perform mathematical functions and store information, but their power sources have been fragile. Researchers now say they’ve developed a reliable source: ...

Though it might seem like science fiction, scientists are working to build nanoscale molecular machines that can be designed for myriad applications, such as "smart" medicines and materials. But like ...

Since Madeline Lancaster first created brain organoids back in 2013, they have become widely used for brain research around the world. But what exactly are they? Are they effectively miniature brains ...

Some bacterial-infecting viruses use ‘sponges’ to mop up defence molecules, but bacteria can fight back by responding when a sponge captures decoy molecules. Read the paper: A miniature CRISPR–Cas10 ...
