A new study published in Science and led by Monash University biologists reveals that the energy cost of reproduction is far greater than previously believed. The research, led by Dr. Samuel C Ginther ...

Scientists have discovered a new form of biological reproduction -- and created self-replicating living robots. Made from frog cells, these computer-designed organisms gather single cells inside a Pac ...

Yellow crazy ants break the rules of reproduction. Every male ant contains separate populations of cells from two distinct genetic lineages, making them “chimeras,” researchers report in the April 7 ...

This strange little garment provided the miracle answer to one of life’s greatest questions: Where do babies come from? Our most brilliant minds — from Leonardo da Vinci to Isaac Newton — tackled ...

Researchers should urgently think about how humans can reproduce in space, experts have said. As humanity looks towards living beyond Earth, we need to understand how human reproduction will actually ...

Sex is a tricky business, evolutionarily speaking. One problem is that sexually reproducing organisms must suffer the considerable faff of securing a mate (for the males of some species, the struggle ...

What makes science reliable? The ability to reproduce the results of an experiment, known as reproducibility, is one of the hallmarks of a valid scientific finding. But science is facing what many ...
