Do you remember the early days of social media? The promise of connection, of democratic empowerment, of barriers crumbling and gates opening? In those heady days, the co-founder of Twitter said that ...

In a giant feat of genetic engineering, scientists have created bacteria that make proteins in a radically different way than all natural species do. By Carl Zimmer At the heart of all life is a code.

Jason Mast is a general assignment reporter at STAT focused on the science behind new medicines and the systems and people that decide whether that science ever reaches patients. You can reach Jason ...

As China and the United States trade charges of a lab leak, researchers contend in a new paper that the Covid pandemic got its start, like a previous one, in the wildlife trade. By Carl Zimmer In the ...

Python libraries are pre-written collections of code designed to simplify programming by providing ready-made functions for specific tasks. They eliminate the need to write repetitive code and cover ...

Institute of Logistics Science and Engineering of Shanghai Maritime University, Pudong, China Introduction: This study addresses the joint scheduling optimization of continuous berths and quay cranes ...

A Stanford-led study published in Nature on Feb. 26 found that age-related changes witnessed in diseases like Alzheimer’s may be related to a relatively untapped area of research in the brain. The ...

This project simulates a genetic algorithm to evolve a population of "moths" represented by grayscale genomes. The simulation evaluates the fitness of each moth based on its adaptability to a defined ...

Scientists in Spain have used genetic algorithms to optimize a feedforward artificial neural network for the prediction of energy generation of PV systems. Genetic algorithms use “parents” and ...

A vast mosaic of cells, some that are identical and some that are slightly different, make up the human body. Knowable Magazine You began when egg and sperm met, and the DNA from your biological ...

Every living being we know of, from the smallest bacteria to the largest blue whale, hinges on the same remarkable genetic code – a universal blueprint that underpins the diversity of life on Earth.

Despite awe-inspiring diversity, nearly every lifeform – from bacteria to blue whales – shares the same genetic code. How and when this code came about has been the subject of much scientific ...
