Life may have emerged from a surprisingly simple network of chemical reactions long before cells or genes existed.

Fossils can reveal far more than the shapes of ancient creatures. Molecules preserved inside old animal bones provide clues about past diseases, what those animals ate, and the climates they lived in.

RIKEN researchers have discovered how right-handed molecules in our cells can give rise to cells that are not symmetrical ...

Cells may generate their own electrical signals through microscopic membrane motions. Researchers show that active molecular ...

How BioRender and CEO Shiz Aoki are turning a standard visual language for biology into must-have AI infrastructure, from ...

Understanding the stages of aging may help you make important decisions about your health and aging well. Aging is a natural experience that lasts a lifetime. It’s a biological process that involves ...

Quantum technologies might seem incompatible with life. The quantum bits, or qubits, that make them up commonly require ultracold temperatures, and rely on hard, orderly materials like diamond or ...

If you learned about biology and quantum mechanics in the same course, it was probably in the form of two unrelated chapters in different parts of the syllabus in something like an integrated science ...

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 ...

Electrons released when cosmic rays strike water-ice can provide energy for microbes and facilitate the formation of complex ...

How old are you really? Birthdays may be a common tally, but your “age” isn’t determined by time alone. New research increasingly shows the importance of considering chronological age as something ...
