Using mushrooms, scientists have created a living, plastic-like compound that uses the fungi's unique properties to mold it into almost any form. Researchers out of the Swiss Federal Laboratories for Materials Science and Technology, better known as Empa, have used the common split-gill mushroom to create what they're calling "living fiber dispersions" or LFD, a gel-like material that can be used as a plastic alternative in all manner of applications. The new material's unique strength and ver

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

The way organismic agents come to know the world, and the way algorithms solve problems, are fundamentally different. The most sensible course of action for an organism does not simply follow from logical rules of inference. Before it can even use such rules, the organism must tackle the problem of relevance. It must turn ill-defined problems into well-defined ones, turn semantics into syntax. This ability to realize relevance is present in all organisms, from bacteria to humans. It lies at the

We often say that the light leaves a person’s eyes when they die. But it turns out all living organisms, including humans, emit a literal glow that extinguishes after death, according to a new study. The study, published in The Journal of Physical Chemistry Letters, found that living things glow faintly throughout their lives due to the energy released by metabolic and cellular processes. Monitoring this weak signal could one day help scientists track injury and disease. As cells consume energ

Microfabrication is—simply put—the construction of tiny things, including microscopic and nanoscopic objects and patterns. Microfabrication has major potential in medicine and biomedical engineering, in addition to fields like electronics and photonics—but first, researchers need to develop techniques that are biologically compatible. One team of researchers thinks a crucial step toward that goal involves tattooing tardigrades. In order to test the techniques necessary to build microscopic bioc

Would you ever donate a spare organ to someone else while you’re still alive? Probably not, given how few living organ donations happen these days. Kidneys, and more recently livers, are some of the only body parts that can be donated by someone living. Our bodies can function perfectly fine with one kidney, whereas the liver can grow back (doctors only take out a piece for transplantation). While there are some short-term risks—as with any surgery—and potential rare complications, studies hav
