Biosensors—sensors that can detect biological samples—are powerful tools for understanding the function, composition, and structure of biochemical molecules. Biosensors are often applied for the ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. We’ve created artificial microbes in the past, but in each of those cases, researchers were working with viruses or bacteria.

More than 5,300 years after his death in the Alps, a famous frozen mummy is still helping scientists make new discoveries − and even bake fresh bread. Researchers studying Ötzi the Iceman have ...

Our ability to manipulate the genes of living organisms has expanded dramatically in recent years. Now, researchers are a step closer to building genomes from scratch after unveiling a strain of yeast ...

Membranes are crucial to our cells. Every cell in your body is enclosed by one. And each of those cells contains specialized compartments, or organelles, which are also enclosed by membranes.

Korean researchers have coated yeast cells with silica. This could lead to functionalized cells with electrical and computational properties or other properties. They start out by coating the cells ...

Researchers report that a yeast cells can actively regulate a process called phase separation in one of their membranes. During phase separation, the membrane remains intact but partitions into ...
