Scientists have made the first step towards creating new species in the lab. Researchers have used artificial intelligence to ...

Scientists used AI to design a completely new virus known as Evo-Φ2147. It is designed to infect and replicate inside ...

In a sealed lab, a string of code has become something stranger and more unsettling than software. Using artificial intelligence, researchers have written the genetic instructions for a virus that has ...

In a new study, terrestrial bacteria-infecting viruses were still able to infect their E. coli hosts in near-weightless "microgravity" conditions aboard the International Space Station, but the ...

Scientists have utilized artificial intelligence to create a lab-grown virus, Evo-Φ2147, which infects and replicates in E. coli bacteria faster than natural viruses.

Scientists have infected bacteria with a virus aboard the International Space Station to see how they would interact in ...

In space, bacteriophages mutate in ways not seen on Earth, making them more effective at killing drug-resistant bacteria.

In a new study, terrestrial bacteria-infecting viruses were still able to infect their E. coli hosts in near-weightless “microgravity” conditions aboard the International Space Station, but the ...

Viruses infected bacteria differently on the ISS than on Earth Microgravity altered infection speed, growth, and mutations ...

The microbes could surrender to the harmless virus, but instead freeze in place, dormant, waiting for their potential predator to go away, according to a recent study in mBio. University of Illinois ...

Viruses, often seen only as disease-causing agents, may hold surprising potential as natural allies in the fight against climate change. A new study published in Nitrogen Cycling reveals that soil ...
