Biologists trying to know life. We were kids.Trying to play. But the game is no longer a game.Angered by our failures to know.Insisting to know more and more...…

Worms… Deep below…
The sea bed in the deep ocean during the Cambrian period was thought to have been inhospitable to animal life because it lacked enough oxygen to sustain it. But research published in the scientific journal Geology reveals the existence of fossilized worm tunnels dating back to the Cambrian period - 270 million years before the…

Life. Existence. Quantum mechanics.
We're a little closer to explaining life with quantum mechanics thanks to research carried out with an IBM supercomputer. Encoding behaviours related to self-replication, mutation, interaction between individuals, and (inevitably) death, a quantum algorithm has been used to show that quantum computers can indeed mimic some of the patterns of biology in the real world.…
