Robots designed by a bioengineer can accelerate a natural process to turn single-cell organisms into things that devour waste or create common medicines.

NordGen is running a great series of weekly webinars on crop wild relatives conservation. You can find recordings of the past three on their website, but I can’t figure out how to sign up for future ...

Microorganisms—bacteria, viruses and other tiny life forms—may drive biological variation in visible life as much, if not ...

understanding these interactions is key to using synthetic biology to build nature-inspired microorganisms useful for mining critical metals. The team will also assess how policies should be adapted ...

The researchers hypothesize that these mechanisms may also be useful to the host corals, helping them to fend off pathogens. Another possibility is that the bacteria provide nitrogen to their host ...
