Adopting certain eating and lifestyle changes can have a significant impact on our biological age. A stunning experiment delving into how diet and daily habits can impact, and even reduce, age is ...

During the Cold War, the British government conducted secret biological warfare experiments over parts of the UK. Aerosol clouds containing bacteria were released to study how biological agents spread ...

Much of what we know about plant circadian rhythms is the result of laboratory experiments where inputs such as light and temperature can be tightly controlled. Less is known about how these ...

A crew of tiny worms will be heading on a mission to the International Space Station in 2026 that will help scientists understand how humans can travel through space safely, using a Leicester-built ...

Researchers have created a new version of a microbe to compete economically with E. coli -- a bacteria commonly used as a research tool due to its ability to synthesize proteins -- to conduct low-cost ...

Artificial intelligence is rapidly learning to autonomously design and run biological experiments, but the systems intended to govern those capabilities are struggling to keep pace. AI company OpenAI ...

Americans remain at risk from deadly, genetically engineered, lab-created pathogens. The COVID-19 pandemic, responsible for the deaths of nearly 1.2 million Americans, likely originated in a ...

Leveraging one of the world’s oldest biological experiments – which began in 1929 – researchers have uncovered how a major crop, barley, was shaped by both agricultural pressures and its changing ...

Biological experiments are generating increasingly large and complex sets of data. This has made it difficult to reproduce experiments at other research laboratories in order to confirm - or refute - ...
