Scientists build a synthetic cell that grows, divides and replicates DNA using only non-living chemical components.

From why it was created to whether it’s alive, here’s what to know about SpudCell, the latest advance in synthetic biology.

While many of life's mysteries remain unsolved, every biologist can describe the basic processes performed by a living organism, including energy use, reproduction, growth and development. While these ...

Scientists built a synthetic cell that combines more lifelike properties than ever before — proof of concept that it’s possible to bring nonliving materials to life, or something close to it, in the ...

The sensor payload (thermopile + VL53L8CX ToF) is carried by a rigid pan-tilt assembly driven by two NEMA 17 stepper motors ...

Rob Williams knows how to pitch Jeff Bezos: You write a press release as if your product has already been built. Bezos reads it and gives a thumbs up or down. Williams went through this process a lot ...

In an era dominated by social media, misinformation has become an all too familiar foe, infiltrating our feeds and sowing seeds of doubt and confusion. With more than half of social media users across ...

It’s hard to ignore the seismic shifts brought about by algorithm-driven content. Every time you scroll through your social media feed or check your favorite news app, algorithms are diligently at ...

👉 Learn about dividing by synthetic division when there is a missing power. Synthetic division is a method of dividing polynomials by linear expressions. To divide using synthetic division, we equate ...

Synthetic biologists were tantalized by the idea of making mirror images of microbes. Then things got complicated. For four days in February 2019, some 30 synthetic biologists and ethicists hunkered ...
