A crew of tiny worms will be heading on a mission to the International Space Station in 2026 that will help scientists understand how humans can travel through space safely, using a Leicester-built ...

Medical science experiments uncover fascinating details beneath the surface, revealing biological reactions, tiny structures, and surprising discoveries that deepen our understanding of the human body ...

Scientists have learned over the years that when aquatic organisms such as zooplankton become exposed to microplastics, they eat poorly. Research now shows that their plastic-induced eating ...

A new study has used a series of innovative field experiments to show how plants combine circadian clock signals with environmental cues under naturally fluctuating conditions. Much of what we know ...

Anthropic wants AI agents to work with laboratory equipment while keeping humans involved in experiments and staying out of clinical trials.

Modern biology labs often use robotic assemblies to drop precise amounts of fluids into experimental containers. Now, researchers have shown how to adapt a Lego robotics kit to do this for much less ...

I like biology. But I am also drawn to programming, not just experiments.There is no need to force a choice between these two ...

The marriage of data, new algorithms, and biology is leading to innovative engineering of biological processes and the development of new healthcare treatments and diagnostic products and services. At ...

Biological experiments are generating increasingly large and complex sets of data. This has made it difficult to reproduce experiments at other research laboratories in order to confirm - or refute - ...
