Pando — Latin for "I spread" — is the largest known tree on Earth and the heaviest living organism on record. The colony extends over 106 acres (43 hectares) and weighs an estimated 6,500 tons ...

This system mimics the functions of a living organism's sensory nervous system, and enables a new type of robotic system that can efficiently respond to external stimuli.

A first-of-its-kind adaptive 3D printing system developed by University of Minnesota Twin Cities researchers can identify the positions of randomly distributed organisms and safely move them to ...

An ecologist from Utah State University is warning one of the world’s largest living things, a colony of genetically identical trees sharing a single root system, is in danger of breaking up ...

This system mimics the functions of a living organism's sensory nervous system, and enables a new type of robotic system that can efficiently responds to external stimuli.

To a layperson, technology and biological life may seem like opposite poles. However, the tech industry regularly draws lessons from living organisms, striving to build tools and systems that not ...

Further analysis also shows that this life form likely sported an early immune system, which means it was probably ... True ...

Aging is a natural process that affects all living organisms, prompting gradual changes in their behavior and abilities. Past studies have highlighted several physiological factors that can ...

An element of reciprocity could also be injected into the system, so that—for example—people can choose to donate organs only to those who have in turn indicated their willingness for the same.
