Self-assembly + replicating capacity: Laura Tripaldi on how viruses went from representing the technological future of humanity to being the absolute emblem of pandemic extinction [Originally published at Nero Editions.] I first came across the FFP3 respirator…

Oof, the EAS, am I right?

No? Ok.

Well, here’s something that’s never been done before, so I’m excited to show it off!

I hope more creators will do more scenarios similar to this!

Enjoy!

Edit: This scenario is actually the second of its kind. I’m upset.…

This scenario was inspired by thephoenixfire's Ecophagy: The Gray Goo.

Our civilization has in many ways been forced to run off of Black Goo...oil. The largest Internet tech corporation is Goo-gle. Black Goo is practically everywhere in science fiction and horror films. Why?

Is it possible that demonic entities can attach themselves…

How does nature build? How do we build? What happens when we begin building life itself? Let your imagination…

Professor Tom Ellis from the Department of Bioengineering, Imperial College London talks about how his research has helped to engineer biology this century.

From selective breeding to genetic modification, our understanding of biology is now merging with the principles of engineering to bring us synthetic biology.

Written, animated and directed by James Hutson, Bridge8.

Molecular biology research is more complex than ever, and research teams need automated, high-throughput tools for sequence design and workflow management. In this workshop Customer Success Associate Damian Costello and Product Manager Andrew Guo showcase…

Cells are the fundamental "building blocks" that make up living organisms. Yet, we don't know exactly how cells were formed in the first place. We also don't know what all the molecules that make up any natural cell do. Finally, we can't yet put molecules…

Imagine synthetic antibiotics that could fight infections like MRSA, custom pharmaceuticals to treat advanced prostate cancer, and new enzymes that will turn cellulose into fuel. With support from the National Science Foundation (NSF), chemist Kent Kirshenbaum…

Genetically engineered viruses are becoming more common as the costs of DNA sequencing and genetic engineering are dropping, what does that mean for us?
