Scientists found that embryonic skin cells “whisper” through faint mechanical tugs, using the same force-sensing proteins that make our ears ultrasensitive. By syncing these micro-movements, the cells ...

For decades, scientists have known that bacteria can exchange genetic material, in a process called horizontal gene transfer.

NEW YORK — In a remarkable finding that challenges what scientists have long believed, a new study finds that the ability to ...
