Scientists turned a tiny parasite into a living drug factory
3+ mon, 3+ day ago (866+ words) Rewriting a hookworm’s DNA had long remained out of reach. The worm’s tough outer coating, its complex life cycle, and its poorly characterized genome kept it beyond the reach of gene-editing tools that work reliably in bacteria, mice, and human…...
Bird eyes have capabilities that should not be possible
7+ mon, 3+ week ago (729+ words) Bird eyes have puzzled scientists for centuries. One part of the mystery comes from a simple question. How can bird retinas stay alive without oxygen? A new study published in the journal Nature finally explains this strange ability. The research…...
Scientists warn of a new biological risk and call for an international summit
8+ mon, 2+ day ago (838+ words) Thirty-eight researchers from around the world are urging caution over mirror life – a hypothetical form of biology built from mirror-image molecules that could behave unpredictably in natural systems. In response, a major biomedical research institute in Paris is convening an…...
Scientists recover the world's oldest RNA in a well-preserved woolly mammoth
9+ mon, 3+ week ago (755+ words) For years, the story of the woolly mammoth has felt fixed in the past. Ancient bones, frozen tissue, and fragments of DNA help scientists stitch together how these giants lived and died. A new study pushes that story even farther....
Which animal really came first? The debate may finally be settled
9+ mon, 3+ week ago (881+ words) A question has stirred up arguments in biology for years: which creature sits at the very base of the animal family tree? The choice seems simple. It is either the sponge, which has no muscles and no neurons, or the…...
How scientists are turning invasive crazy ants against themselves
9+ mon, 4+ week ago (954+ words) Tawny crazy ants have been causing major problems in the southern U.S. for years. From Florida to Texas, these invasive pests have overrun yards, homes, and ecosystems. The ants aren’t just annoying – they push out native species and throw entire environments…...
Tiny bats hunt like lions, striking with patience and precision
10+ mon, 1+ week ago (810+ words) The forests of Panama come alive after sunset. Somewhere above the ground, a tiny bat hangs upside down, silent and alert. In that quiet, the bat waits for a sound – a frog’s croak, a faint rustle, a signal of movement....
Deep-sea voyage uncovers a glowing shark and a ghostly porcelain crab
10+ mon, 4+ week ago (727+ words) In 2022, scientists involved in a deep-sea voyage on CSIRO’s research vessel RV Investigator explored the waters off Western Australia. What they found is a reminder that the ocean floor still holds countless secrets waiting to be uncovered. The team discovered…...
Hippos in the Ice Age? DNA reveals a survival story
11+ mon, 1+ day ago (746+ words) Europe during the Ice Age wasn’t always the frozen wasteland we imagine. Between glaciers and tundra, rivers still flowed, and the land breathed in warm intervals. In those moments, something remarkable happened – hippos lived there. A new study published in…...
Ants in your yogurt? A long-lost recipe creates a healthier version of this traditional food
11+ mon, 3+ day ago (817+ words) People have been making yogurt for thousands of years, but a team of scientists just brought back one of the most unusual methods ever recorded – a recipe from the Balkans that begins with live forest ants. The researchers found that…...
