From the Black Death to the COVID-19 pandemic, combining the genetic data of a pathogen with historical records, archaeological artifacts and epidemiological studies can uncover its origins.

Scientists suggest algae could be embedded within biosensors that glow when toxins detected in the environment

Text-based AI can think like a physician; the challenge is achieving safe clinical implementation

The new sensor is based on a special fluorescent protein from which it was not previously possible to develop a biosensor
