A crew of tiny worms will be heading on a mission to the International Space Station in 2026 that will help scientists understand how humans can travel through space safely, using a Leicester-built ...

A new study has used a series of innovative field experiments to show how plants combine circadian clock signals with environmental cues under naturally fluctuating conditions. Much of what we know ...

Adopting certain eating and lifestyle changes can have a significant impact on our biological age. A stunning experiment delving into how diet and daily habits can impact, and even reduce, age is ...

A common science fiction trope is infinite cloning. In such a scenario, we could perfectly copy our best livestock, our beloved pets, or even ourselves, forever. But apparently biology doesn’t work ...

Biological experiments are generating increasingly large and complex sets of data. This has made it difficult to reproduce experiments at other research laboratories in order to confirm - or refute - ...

Much of what we know about plant circadian rhythms is the result of laboratory experiments where inputs such as light and temperature can be tightly controlled. Less is known about how these ...
