Scientists have finally created synthetic life in a lab by constructing a synthetic yeast for the first time in history.

We often discuss cybernetic, genetic engineering, artificial intelligence, and hybrids of them, but what truly is synthetic life? And what is it like?

This engineered genome will help experts tailor organisms to fit the needs of their ever-changing environments.

After more than a decade of work, researchers have reached a major milestone in their efforts to re-engineer life in the lab, ...

Synthetic cells that look just like natural cells but are chemically reversed could outcompete other living organisms − with ...

Previous studies used larger colloid particles, but by using smaller particles, the researchers could experiment in three ...

For years, scientists have sought to understand how a collection of chemicals that are not themselves alive — in the case of humans, inanimate organic molecules — are able to work together to ...

Researchers have made a breakthrough in the development of 'life-like' synthetic materials which are able to move by themselves like worms. Scientists have been investigating a new class of materials ...
