Evolved Robots Are Born to Run and Refuse to Die

Developed by Professor Sam Kriegman, AI-designed metamachines can run in the wild, recover from damage, and transform into new shapes.

Scientists clock a driving factor in the evolution of error correction

All complex biological systems—like the DNA, RNA and proteins constantly being copied and built within our cells—are prone to errors. That means as life evolved to be more elaborate, it also had to ...

Ghost lineages: The ancient DNA hiding in our genes today?

Fragments of DNA from long-extinct human relatives still circulate in modern genomes, and in some cases they do more than linger. They actively shape how people survive in extreme environments. The ...
