Microplastics and nanoplastics are increasingly recognized as pervasive environmental contaminants that accumulate in animals ...

It's time to stop bickering, accept what science tells us, acknowledge the widespread occurrence of intentional behavioral flexibility, and pay attention to why it has evolved.

Scientists have discovered a key biological safeguard that helps one of nature's most impressive regenerators, the planarian ...

Microplastics have been a problem for decades. Even the planet's most remote regions are experiencing issues, proving no one is immune.

Scientists at the University of Florida have developed a rapid eDNA test that can detect invasive Asian swamp eels and ...

The anti-parasitic drug became a household name during the COVID-19 pandemic, and it is now being embraced as an alternative ...

When it comes to health, some of our animal neighbors have extraordinary advantages. Ostriches, for example, are highly resistant to viruses, while sharks rarely develop cancer. And species like naked ...

Coronaviruses not only use the machinery of the human cells they infect: they modify it to achieve optimal conditions to produce viral proteins and thus spread more quickly. This is the main ...

Why are humans active during the day when many mammals thrive at night? New research [1] published in Science suggests the answer lies deep within our cells.Early mammals were nocturnal, avoiding ...

A biocomputer powered by lab-grown human brain cells has leveled up from Pong to Doom. While nowhere ready to handle the video game shooter’s most challenging levels, researchers at Cortical Labs in ...

Millions of years ago, the Earth was a barren, steamy ball over half a billion years ago, full of volcanic ash, vast oceans churning with chemical sou.

Living human neurons were trained to play Doom, extending the long-running engineering benchmark into biological computing.
