Explore the power and risks of synthetic biology as humanity learns to write new versions of life's genetic code.
Among them is an AI pacemaker that restores the proper functioning of the heart, a living skin substitute for the treatment of burn wounds, a solar telescope with more than 500 antennas, and others.
Early eukaryotes, the lineage that later gave rise to animals, plants and fungi, may have depended on oxygen from the start.

An odd “fossil worm” lay hidden beneath frozen Arctic ice for over 24,000 years. No movement. No metabolism. No sign of life at all. Then scientists decided to thaw it. Researchers drilled into ...
Scientists uncovered evidence that human blood cells may trace their origins back to single-celled ancestors that lived 700 ...
From the highest mountains to the deepest ocean, the driest desert to the lushest jungle, Earth displays a dazzling array of lifeforms. And eukaryotes account for many of these lifeforms, including ...
