Metal 'Snakes' Fall Far Short of Life
Researchers at Argonne National Laboratories have observed nickel filings ordering into rows atop a special fluid. With precisely structured electromagnetic fields surrounding them, the snake-like rows undulated in their beakers.

Tail-gliding Bugs Are Not Evidence for Flight Evolution
Researchers recently announced that they have unlocked some of the mystery surrounding the evolution of insect flight.1 Their observance of a certain wingless insect led them to hypothesize that its “directed aerial descent” might be an important stage in flight evolution. But is it?

Scientists Seek Second Genesis
The invention of a synthetic life form is a dream shared by many scientists, and they are beginning to see it as a possibility that is achievable within a decade.

Deadly Waters No Problem for Well-Equipped Algae
Arsenic is a common toxic component in pesticides and herbicides, and one place it is found naturally is in the hot springs of Yellowstone National Park. The arsenic in the water there would be deadly to many living creatures, yet the Cyanidioschyzon algae thrive in it because they are specially equipped to detoxify arsenic through chemical modification.
Lab-'evolved' Molecules Support Creation
Scientists attempting to demonstrate random evolution in the laboratory have found something entirely different: evidence supporting creation.
