Artificial 'skin' sensor could be the future of wearable and stretchable electronics, with applications in wound-healing, gaming, and more

A new study shows that, as materials age, they 'remember' prior stresses and external forces, which scientists and engineers can then use to create new materials with unique properties

Video shows single-cell organism making complex decisions

Dissecting self-organizing protein systems step by step may help scientists design the process of biological pattern formation from minimal ingredients

The researchers specifically focused on a rotational motor dubbed V1 that functions as part of a pump that moves sodium ions across the membrane as a part of healthy cellular processes

A research team created a glassy carbon electrode as an alternative to the metal version, and new findings show it does not react to MRI scans, making it safer

Previous biofoundry efforts have produced a wide variety of products such as chemicals, fuels, and engineered cells and proteins, but those studies were not performed in a fully automated manner

Research could also lead to nontoxic method using sound to diminish mosquito breeding

Insect swarms have inspired roboticists to think that small robots may also be able to overcome their individual limitations by operating in a swarm
