Looking ahead: Swiss researchers are exploring the frontier of computing by creating processors from living cells, a field known as biocomputing. Their work, though inspired by concepts often seen in ...

Griffith University researchers have shown that the shape and surface chemistry of microscopic "re-entrant" structures—tiny overhanging caps arranged like mushroom tops—can tune how cancer cells stick ...

Scientists who study the brain have long tried to unlock the neural mysteries of schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. They can be difficult to diagnose and even harder to treat. The scientists began ...

Pathogens have distinct electrical charges, shapes and sizes. Measuring how quickly they move through an electric field can help researchers separate different species in a sample in minutes. I am a ...

Scientists are getting closer to growing human brains in the lab, and it's spurring an ethical debate over the welfare of these lab-reared tissues. The debate surrounds "brain organoids," which are ...
