Researchers build anthrobots from human airway cells that self-assemble, move, self-heal, and reverse aging markers, offering insights into synthetic life systems. (Nanowerk Spotlight) What kinds of ...

In our high school chemistry classes we all learn about chirality, the property of organic molecules in which two chemically identical molecules can have different structures that are mirror images of ...

Scientists have created a bacteria with a genetic code more streamlined – and more meddled with – than any other life on Earth. This bacteria, a synthetic Escherichia coli called Syn57, has been ...

This image shows the production of ATP in a mitochondrion, requiring > 100 proteins, and the synthetic vesicles producing ATP, with only 5 proteins. It is one of the most fundamental questions in ...

WASHINGTON, May 20 (Reuters) - Scientists working to make a synthetic life form reported a major step forward on Thursday, saying they had created an artificial genome and used it to bring a ...

Can synthetic biology deliver on its promise without repeating the ethical failures of past technologies? This new report maps the crossroads of innovation, risk, and responsibility, revealing what’s ...

Our hands are mirror images of each other. Unless you flip one hand around, they’ll never look the same. Scientists call this chirality, and the mirror-like property is fundamental to all life on ...

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Scientists working to make a synthetic life form reported a major step forward Thursday, saying they had created an artificial genome and used it to bring a hollowed-out ...
