Transposable elements (TEs), also called transposons, are DNA sequences capable of moving or replicating from one location to another within a genome. While TEs are the most significant fraction of ...

Rosalind, a Rust-built genomics library, runs whole genome sequencing analysis in 100 MB of RAM on a laptop, with no cloud ...

Using AI chatbots for even just 10 minutes may have a shockingly negative impact on people’s ability to think and problem-solve, according to a new study from researchers at Carnegie Mellon, MIT, ...

The National Security Agency is said to be using Mythos Preview, Anthropic’s recently announced model that it withheld from public release, Axios reports. The news comes weeks after the NSA’s parent ...

Penn researchers are working to accelerate the development of drug delivery systems through a new artificial intelligence-driven research hub. The United States National Science Foundation Artificial ...

Researchers have developed a cutting-edge technique that uses RNA “barcodes” to map how neurons connect, capturing thousands of links with single-synapse precision. The method transforms brain mapping ...

A new study finds that certain patterns of AI use are driving cognitive fatigue, while others can help reduce burnout. by Julie Bedard, Matthew Kropp, Megan Hsu, Olivia T. Karaman, Jason Hawes and ...

There are plenty of unanswered questions about the origin of life on Earth. But the research community has largely reached consensus that one of the key steps was the emergence of an RNA molecule that ...

According to the RNA world hypothesis, life began when RNA molecules evolved the ability to make more copies of themselves. Now we have discovered an RNA molecule that is almost capable of this – it ...

Scientists at Rutgers University–Newark have developed a first-of-its-kind RNA-based nanotechnology that assembles itself inside living human cells and can be programmed to stop propagation of harmful ...

Scientists can peer into cells to get a limited view of their activity using microscopes and other tools. However, cells and the molecular events within them are dynamic, and developmental processes, ...

The percentage of teachers who are using artificial intelligence-driven tools in their classrooms nearly doubled between 2023 and 2025, according to data from the EdWeek Research Center. In 2023, a ...
