Rule-breaking genome: PL0344 replaces two stop codons with amino acids, defying the near-universal genetic code. Synthetic biology potential: Its stable double reassignment could guide the design of ...

Rule-breaking discovery: A freshwater ciliate uses stop codons to build amino acids instead of ending proteins, defying the 'universal' genetic code. Genetic code flexibility: The organism reassigns ...

Those old enough to have encountered punch cards in their lifetime are probably glad to be rid of their extremely low data density and the propensity of tall stacks to tip over. But obsolete as they ...

May 15, 2026 NASA is testing a next-generation space computer chip that could give spacecraft the ability to operate far more independently in deep space. The radiation-hardened processor is showing ...
