How do some people manage to live over 100 years and successfully resist aging processes? A new study published in the journal "Cell Reports" points to the important role of the immune system. Long-lived individuals were found to have an increased level of rare immune cells capable of destroying damaged and cancerous cells.

Researchers from Stanford University have designed and created from scratch viruses that attack resistant bacteria, proving that artificial intelligence tools are already capable of writing functional genetic code. The breakthrough presents immense medical promise, but also comes with fears of a biological arms race.

Researchers from the USA have presented a model that allows a wave to appear as if it is moving faster than expected, and under certain conditions, even beyond the speed of light. The phenomenon is related to the way waves reaching a destination via different paths connect to each other. According to the scientists, this finding may be relevant not only to sound in water but also to light in a...

We tend to think that a forgotten memory is like a file permanently deleted from a computer, but scientists have discovered that reality is much more complex. A new study published in the scientific journal Nature Neuroscience shows that in fruit flies, memories we thought had disappeared completely actually remain hidden deep in the brain, ready to come to life as soon as we receive the right...
