Scientists have discovered a strange tubular structure inside Profftella, a symbiotic bacterium in the Asian citrus psyllid. These long, helical tubes, filled with ribosomes, show a complexity not ...

From controlling fire to decoding DNA, humans have achieved levels of adaptation unseen in nature. Biologists call this a “cultural evolution loop,” where ideas evolve faster than genes. This feedback ...

Animal mothers exhibit remarkable resilience and ingenuity when raising large litters. Species like the tailless tenrec and ...

The question of consciousness has puzzled scientists for decades, but new research suggests the answer lies not in what consciousness is, but rather in what purpose it serves. According to Professors ...

A cell is fundamentally a container—a vessel that encapsulates life at the most basic level. Many biologists believe ...

When males are forced to compete for females, new species form more rapidly. This has been shown in a new study where the ...

Although we humans have changed our environment in many ways during the past few thousand years, we are still changed by ...

The advent of artificial intelligence might be just the latest stage in a guiding biological process that has produced ever more complex, mutually dependent organisms over the history of life.

The researchers described the scene in a recent publication, calling it “an extraordinary colonial spider community.” The ...

This process, which occurred and spread thousands of years ago, is an example of what is called cultural and biological ...
