The researchers took a “safety-first” approach. They deliberately excluded all viruses that infect humans or animals from the ...

Scientists have made the first step towards creating new species in the lab. Researchers have used artificial intelligence to ...

Scientists used AI to design a completely new virus known as Evo-Φ2147. It is designed to infect and replicate inside ...

When scientists sent bacteria-infecting viruses to the International Space Station, the microbes did not behave the same way ...

The microbes could surrender to the harmless virus, but instead freeze in place, dormant, waiting for their potential predator to go away, according to a recent study in mBio. University of Illinois ...

In a new study, terrestrial bacteria-infecting viruses were still able to infect their E. coli hosts in near-weightless "microgravity" conditions aboard the International Space Station, but the ...

Scientists have utilized artificial intelligence to create a lab-grown virus, Evo-Φ2147, which infects and replicates in E. coli bacteria faster than natural viruses.

Scientists have infected bacteria with a virus aboard the International Space Station to see how they would interact in ...

Researchers from New England Biolabs (NEB®) and Yale University describe the first fully synthetic bacteriophage engineering ...

Viruses that infect bacteria can still do their job in microgravity, but space changes the rules of the fight.

In space, bacteriophages mutate in ways not seen on Earth, making them more effective at killing drug-resistant bacteria.

Viruses, often seen only as disease-causing agents, may hold surprising potential as natural allies in the fight against climate change. A new study published in Nitrogen Cycling reveals that soil ...
