Scientists build a synthetic cell that grows, divides and replicates DNA using only non-living chemical components.

From why it was created to whether it’s alive, here’s what to know about SpudCell, the latest advance in synthetic biology.

While many of life's mysteries remain unsolved, every biologist can describe the basic processes performed by a living organism, including energy use, reproduction, growth and development. While these ...

The next wave of robotics depends on unifying code and hardware—embedding AI directly into the deterministic systems that ...

Why engineers are turning to system-level models. How high-fidelity digital twins help expose system-level issues. Where MBSE is experiencing the fastest adoption. The roles of AI and data science in ...

Fidelity Investments notified a customer that her phone number and email address had been removed from her profile. When she logged in, her accounts and savings were nowhere to be found. By Tara ...

Heavy machinery is entering a new phase where hydraulics, electronics and embedded software are engineered as one integrated system. Using model-based systems engineering (MBSE) as a framework to ...
