After so many years learning how microbes work, researchers are now digitally recreating their inner workings to tackle challenges ranging from climate change to space colonization.
In my work as a computational biologist, I research ways to get microbes to produce more useful chemicals, such as fuels and bioplastics, that can be used in the energy, agricultural or pharmaceutical industrie

Bacteria in Wisconsin's Lake Mendota demonstrate a unique pattern of evolution, with species adapting to dramatic seasonal changes and then reverting genetically to prior states over time. According to a study published in Nature Microbiology, researchers found that hundreds of bacterial species evolve in response to shifting environmental conditions yet consistently return to near-identical gen

Astronomers have captured images of over 40 individual stars in a galaxy so distant that its light has traveled for nearly 6.5 billion years to reach Earth, dating back to when the universe was only half its current age. This achievement was made possible through the combined power of NASA's James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) and a cosmic phenomenon known as gravitational lensing.
