Engineers have long tried to mimic life. They've built machine-learning algorithms modeled after the human brain , designed machines that walk like dogs or fly like insects , and taught robots to adapt, however clumsily , to the world around them. Now they are skipping imitation altogether. Instead of taking inspiration from biology, they are building robots out of it: fashioning tiny, free-swimming assemblages of living cells that organize into self-directed systems, complete with neurons that...

A deadly parasite responsible for sleeping sickness has been found using a surprisingly precise trick to stay hidden in the human bloodstream. Scientists discovered a protein called ESB2 that acts like a "molecular shredder," cutting up specific genetic instructions as they are produced. This allows the parasite to flood its surface with protective proteins while suppressing other signals that might give it away.

Retraction Watch - 1 day 23 hours agoIn a story readers might find familiar, a researcher was asked to pay when he demanded a journal retract an article he had never seen but supposedly wrote and the journal ghosted him when he refused.

It's easy to assume that Robert Woo was defined by the accident that took away his ability to walk. Certainly, the day of his accident 14 December 2007 was a turning point. Woo, an architect working on the new Goldman Sachs headquarters in New York City, hadn't attended his company's holiday party the night before, and that morning he was the only one in the trailer that served as the construction-site office. He was bent over his laptop when, 30 floors above, a crane's nylon sling...
Last Word On Nothing - 2 days 8 hours agoWhen I'm thinking about the evolution of animal forms, as one does, mostly I'm considering animals that exist, or that previously existed, and wondering what conditions and adaptations led to their rise and persistence.
