Scientists have discovered that DNA behaves in a surprising way when squeezed through tiny nanopores, overturning a long-held ...

Scientists are exploring how DNA’s physical structure can store vast amounts of data and encode secure information.

Since the dawn of the computer age, researchers have wrestled with two persistent challenges: how to store ever-increasing ...

These random molecules were fed a collection of three-base-long RNAs, each linked to a chemical tag. The idea was that if a molecule is capable of ligating one of these short RNA fragments to itself, ...

Over the past two decades, researchers have learned that DNA inside the cell nucleus naturally folds into a network of ...

Long-footed potoroos dig up and eat many truffle-like fungi, spreading spores and keeping vital fungi-forest relationships ...

A million years of kitchen accidents may have forced the human immune system to evolve.

Overcoming tumor resistance to chemotherapy drugs has long been a challenge for oncology clinicians and researchers. Now, a new study suggests that blocking a key protein, p300, may force damaged ...

Scientists now believe life began long before LUCA. Older organisms, now vanished, passed on vital genetic tools. These 'pre-LUCA' ancestors developed complex biological functions. LUCA inherited ...

Life’s story may stretch further back than scientists once thought. Some genes found in nearly every organism today were already duplicated before all life shared a common ancestor. By tracking these ...

A newly discovered Viking grave with severed skulls and rope-bound corpses has unleashed a bizarre mystery that has stunned historians. A giant with a hole in his head. Six severed skulls. Rope-bound ...
