Scientists have built tiny living robots from frog embryo cells that spontaneously grow their own functional nervous systems, a first-of-its-kind achievement in synthetic biology. The organisms, ...
Tiny robots face a brutal problem. The smaller they get, the harder it becomes to power them, guide them and keep them useful in messy places. A rigid machine may work well on a lab bench, but the ...
A new technique allows researchers to separate external and internal DNA to identify microbes colonizing the hostile environment of the Atacama Desert. The Atacama Desert, which runs along the Pacific ...
Pockets of microbes have been found living within a sealed fracture in 2-billion-year-old rock. The rock was excavated from the Bushveld Igneous Complex in South Africa, an area known for its rich ore ...
Rocks fractured by earthquakes could unlock a wide menu of chemical energy sources for microbes living deep underground – and similar processes could potentially support microbes within other planets.
