Recordings of brain activity in budgerigars reveal sets of brain cells that represent different sounds like keys on a ...

Researchers say they may have finally discovered the key genetic change that enabled all of modern human speech.

Engineers at MIT have devised an ingenious new way to produce artificial muscles for soft robots that can flex in more than ...

Biological sciences researchers from the U of A have led the publication of a paper that expands our understanding of sensory ...

Mitochondria are the powerhouses in our cells, producing the energy for all vital processes. Using cryo-electron tomography, researchers have now gained insight into the architecture of mitochondria ...

Brain activity in vocalizing budgerigar parrots showed a pattern that harkened to those found in the brains of people.

Scaling up biohybrid robots has been difficult due to the weak contractile force of lab-grown muscles, the risk of necrosis ...

Scientists have found a way to study early embryonic development without real embryos. Using CRISPR, they programmed stem cells to self-organize into structures mimicking early embryos. The cells show ...

Losing weight is a challenging journey for many, often marked by a cycle of weight loss and weight regain known as the "yo-yo ...

Scientists have spotted unique subtypes of fat cells in the human body, and by unraveling their functions, they found that the cells may play a role in obesity. "Finding these [fat] subtypes is ...
