What brings the Earth to life, and our own lives to an end? For decades, biology has been dominated by information – the power of genes. Yet in terms of information, there is no difference between a living cell and one that died a moment ago. What really animates cells and sets them apart from non-living matter? This question goes back to the flawed geniuses and heroic origins of modern biology. The answer could turn our picture of life on Earth upside down. In Transformer, Nick Lane captures

Image by Getty / Futurism Cancer Some of us look old for our age, while others look younger. These differences, though, may not just be superficial. Our appearances, youthful or seasoned, could actually be an accurate reflection of what scientists call our "biological age," a form of measuring someone's age by the health of their body's cells, as opposed to counting their years since birth. Exploring this, a team of scientists at Mass General Brigham (MGB) have now developed an AI model that

About a year ago, I came across James Somers’ blog post, I should have loved biology. I began reading it and every sentence struck a chord: “I should have loved biology but found it a lifeless recitation of names”; “In textbooks, astonishing facts were presented without astonishment”; “In biology class, biology wasn’t presented as a quest for the secrets of life. The textbooks wrung out the questing.” In fact, the chord was so neatly stuck that I stopped reading about a quarter of the way throug

Biohybrid robots work by combining biological components like muscles, plant material, and even fungi with non-biological materials. While we are pretty good at making the non-biological parts work, we’ve always had a problem with keeping the organic components alive and well. This is why machines driven by biological muscles have always been rather small and simple—up to a couple centimeters long and typically with only a single actuating joint. “Scaling up biohybrid robots has been difficult

In brief: An unconventional form of artificial intelligence is taking shape in a nondescript laboratory in Melbourne, Australia. Cortical Labs has unveiled CL1 – an AI computer that fuses real human brain cells with silicon hardware. Remarkably, it's been launched commercially as the "world's first commercialized biological computer." At first glance, the CL1 looks like a rather unconventional PC with a small, horizontal form factor. But that's where the similarity ends. Inside, the CL1 houses

Seaweed forests have become a much-plumbed well for anyone seeking solutions to some of the world's biggest environmental problems. Companies with a climate-conscious bent are using seaweed instead of petroleum-derived materials to make products like sustainable shopping bags and furniture. Growing more seaweed forests has been hailed as a way to sequester carbon, while harvested seaweed is being put into livestock feed in an effort to cure methane-laden cow burps. Now, a company called Marine

The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) — which has been known to fund the development of sci-fi-sounding ideas like flying aircraft carriers or massive streetlights on the Moon — is now seeking public input on its plans to construct massive "bio-mechanical space structures." As spotted by Gizmodo, the agency filed a Request for Information this week for the eyebrow-raising concept. And while we're still not 100 percent sure exactly what they're going after, it sounds rad as hell.
