    Boeing was set to launch its first astronauts into space next month. But engineers found flammable tape and problems with the capsule's parachutes. The Starliner program has been plagued by delays.
  • Katsuhiko Hayashi, a developmental geneticist at Osaka University, is working on ways to make what he calls "artificial" eggs and sperm from any cell in the human body.
    Japanese scientists race to create human eggs and sperm in the lab
    They're leading in the development of IVG, new fertility technology that could make sperm and eggs from practically any cell in the body. The results could transform human reproduction.

  • Researchers meeting in London this week concluded that techniques that have made it easier to manipulate DNA still produce too many mistakes for scientists to be confident any children born from edited embryos (such as these, photographed in 2018) would be healthy.
    Ethical concerns temper optimism about gene-editing for human diseases
    The Third International Summit on Genome Editing concluded Monday with ethicists warning scientists to slow down efforts to use gene-editing to enhance the health of embryos.
  • What looks like a pin-headed critter on the right is actually a larval version of the fruit fly on the left. Both have remarkably complex brains, scientists say, with different regions devoted to decision-making, learning and navigation.
    The first wiring map of an insect's brain hints at incredible complexity
    Researchers have mapped the more than 500,000 connections in the intricate brain of a fruit fly larva. This map, they say, could help scientists figure out how learning changes the human brain, too.
  • When humans interact with dogs, the feel-good hormone oxytocin increases — in the person and the dog.
