Nanobots might sound like something from fiction, cartoons or movies. Like in the movie Big Hero 6, the character Hiro creates tiny robots called microbots that can connect together and form ...

Researchers have used AI to uncover the DNA signature of a key genetic “switch” involved in turning genes on. After analyzing about 500,000 DNA sequences, the model identified the initiator in roughly ...

Silo episode 7 ended with a glimpse of the silos under construction. In episode 8, we finally learn the reason the trillionaire Per Stenson has had them built; he believes the world is doomed to ...

Researchers combined synthetic DNA with a semiconductor to create an ultra-low-power memory device capable of storing and processing information in the same place. The bio-hybrid technology could ...

Light-activated nanobots are tiny therapeutic particles that can be directed using light and can help deliver cancer treatment closer to breast cancer cells. The main aim is to make breast cancer ...

Texas A&M researchers, backed by $1 million in Department of Energy funding, are developing fishlike nanorobots that pull lithium directly from seawater. China controls a quarter of global lithium ...

MIAMI – Inside the University of Miami’s newly opened 3D-bioprinting lab, the future of medicine looks a lot like science fiction. Think minuscule robotic devices that repair the body. Molecules ...
