Flexible electrodes were implanted into tadpole embryos when they were days old - Liu Lab/Harvard School of Engineering and Applied Sciences Cyborg tadpoles with electrodes grown into their brains ...

Bioengineering researchers at the Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS) have developed a soft, thin, stretchable bioelectronic device that can be implanted into a ...

Early brain development is a biological black box. While scientists have devised multiple ways to record electrical signals in adult brains, these techniques don’t work for embryos. A team at Harvard ...

The Nature Index 2025 Research Leaders — previously known as Annual Tables — reveal the leading institutions and countries/territories in the natural and health sciences, according to their output in ...

Paranapiacaba Treefrogs (Bokermannohyla astartea) mate and lay spawn in small pools of water inside the tanks of bromeliad plants, Leo Ramos Malagoli from the Universidade Estadual Paulista in Brazil ...

A 161 million-year-old fossil, linked to a line of extinct frog-like amphibians, is the oldest tadpole ever found. By Asher Elbein The metamorphosis of a frog from baby to adult is one of nature’s ...

Some tadpoles break the rules of biology. Instead of developing lungs as they grow, they lose them entirely and still manage to survive. A recent study from Cornell University found that these ...

Inside the African clawed frog, intestines grow just like humans’: neatly coiled counterclockwise. Experiments now show how that process can go awry. Interfering with tadpoles’ metabolism leads to a ...

Paranapiacaba Treefrogs mate and lay spawn in small pools of water inside the tanks of bromeliad plants, researchers report. The 3 cm-long tadpoles must then make their way to a stream to complete ...
