Three 2,000-year-old cobs in Honduras show that people brought corn varieties back to Mesoamerica, possibly sparking productivity and shaping civilization. Some 9,000 years ago, corn…
The idea that mass extinctions allow many new types of species to evolve is a central concept in evolution, but a new study using artificial…
The display of a smartphone reacts to finger pressure. The carnivorous Venus flytrap, on the other hand, even notices when a lightweight like a fly…
Ducks, rats, mice, pigs, and chickens had lower or no susceptibility to infection. Humans, followed by ferrets and to a lesser extent cats, civets, and…
An end-to-end cyber-biological attack, in which unwitting biologists may be tricked into generating dangerous toxins in their labs, has been discovered by Ben-Gurion University of…
Bees and humans are about as different organisms as one can imagine. Yet despite their many differences, surprising similarities in the ways that they interact…
DeepMind develops AI solution to 50-year-old protein challenge, creating potential to accelerate biological research. In a major scientific advance, the latest version of DeepMind’s AI…
Inside every cell, thousands of different proteins form the machinery that keeps all living things — from humans and plants to microscopic bacteria — alive…
There are over 20,000 species of bee, but accurate data about how these species are spread across the globe are sparse. However, researchers reporting in…
Researchers at the Norwegian University of Life Sciences (NMBU), together with national and international collaborators, have developed statistical methods that allows mapping and forecasting of…
New findings published in PLOS Biology use “big data” approach. Results from a new Cleveland Clinic-led study suggest that melatonin, a hormone that regulates the…
