After 20 years and more than 30,000 cloning attempts, Japanese researchers have discovered that mammals can't be cloned indefinitely. The breakthrough reveals crucial insights about DNA preservation that could transform how we protect endangered species.
A cloned black-footed ferret named Antonia just gave birth to healthy kits using DNA from an animal that died in 1988. This breakthrough could save one of North America's most endangered mammals from disappearing forever.
Four red wolf pups have been successfully cloned by researchers working to rescue North America's most endangered wolf species from extinction. The breakthrough offers new hope for an animal that vanished from the wild in 1980.
Chinese scientists successfully cloned wild yaks for the first time, offering hope for a legendary subspecies with fewer than 300 individuals remaining. The breakthrough could prevent the golden wild yak from disappearing forever.
Chinese scientists just cloned 10 healthy yaks that could transform high-altitude farming and help herding communities thrive for generations. The breakthrough slashes breeding time by 75% and could reverse decades of genetic decline.
After cloning one of the planet's rarest flowers, Australian scientists have grown over 1,000 Queen of Sheba orchids from a single seed. The breakthrough could save the critically endangered species, with fewer than 30 plants remaining in the wild.
Scientists finally cracked the mystery of how Amazon mollies survived for 100,000 years without males, reproducing only through cloning. The discovery could revolutionize how we fight cancer and improve crops.
While a Texas biotech firm makes headlines with bold promises, the San Diego Zoo Wildlife Alliance quietly achieved something remarkable: bringing endangered black-footed ferrets back from frozen genetic material stored for decades. It's a real conservation win that shows how biobanking actually works.
Scientists have discovered an ant queen running one of nature's strangest genetic systems. She produces her own queen daughters, creates hybrid workers, and even clones males from a different species to mate with future generations.
Japanese researchers used gene editing to create fertile female mice from male cells, a breakthrough that could help save endangered species when only males remain. The team successfully bred these opposite-sex clones with their original donor, producing healthy offspring.
Writing assistant Grammarly has disabled its AI feature that mimicked real writers without permission, apologizing after experts objected to having their voices replicated. The company now promises to give creators full control over whether and how they participate in future AI features.
Executives are creating AI-powered digital doubles that can answer questions, attend meetings, and represent them in multiple places at once. The technology is helping leaders scale their time while raising questions about trust and authenticity.
Experimental composer Holly Herndon trained an AI model on her own voice and released it free for anyone to use. She sees the technology as a tool to bring artists together, not replace them.
Before quitting his job at tech giant Baidu, algorithm engineer Wei Ying spent a week creating an AI version of himself that could answer questions and complete 90% of his work. The trend, called "distillation" by Chinese workers, is spreading across industries as companies ask employees to turn their knowledge into AI systems.
Over 80 UK performers are asking the government to give everyone legal ownership of their voice to prevent AI cloning. The campaign comes as voice theft cases increase weekly, threatening performers' livelihoods.
The same tools being developed to bring back woolly mammoths are already rescuing species on the brink of extinction. From cloning red wolves to developing elephant vaccines, Colossal Biosciences is proving that moonshot science can solve today's conservation crisis.
A cognitive neuroscientist built an AI version of herself to support her teenage son during work trips. The innovation sparked conversation about creative ways parents are using technology to stay present.
Google just launched a game-changing Android feature that can detect when scammers spoof phone numbers and AI-clone voices to trick you. Starting today, millions of Android users will get instant warnings when someone's pretending to be their friend or family member.
Researchers created a digital shield that stops AI from cloning singers' voices while keeping songs sounding perfect to human ears. The breakthrough could save artists from losing control of their music to deepfake technology.
Japan just became the first nation to officially extend legal protections to human voices in the age of AI. The move shields celebrities and public figures from having their voices cloned without permission.
