Researchers have created a robotic system that can follow verbal cues and perform experiments. Lab scientists spend much of their time doing laborious and repetitive tasks, be it pipetting liquid ...

explosion and the shattering glass don’t distress her. She simply clicks her computer mouse a few times and starts over. Ms. Ellison’s laboratory section relies on computer simulations, rather than on ...

A decade ago, scientists funded by the National Institutes of Health used ferrets to engineer a highly lethal flu virus. The purpose of the research — known as “gain of function” — was to better ...

Science is a process of discovery. In the laboratory, students conduct experiments, solve problems, and use the scientific method. Collectively, a laboratory experience should be experiential with ...

While many industries are being rapidly transformed by digital technologies, research laboratories, like the academic cultures that often permeate them, have been slow to change. They're plagued by ...

Science has always been a field of exploration and discovery, often necessitating bold and perilous experiments. These experiments, while dangerous, have revolutionized our understanding of the world ...

Sometimes science can be painfully slow. Data comes in dribs and drabs, truth trickles, and veracity proves viscous. The world's longest-running lab experiment is an ongoing work in sheer scientific ...
