Russian researchers have pulled off a feat that sounds closer to science fiction than standard lab work, reviving microscopic “zombie worms” that had been locked in Arctic ice for roughly 24,000 years ...

Much about tiny, swimming rotifers makes them ideal study subjects. Although barely visible to the naked eye, these transparent animals and their innards are readily viewed under a microscope. What’s ...

A lot has changed on Earth in just the last few decades, but for a recently revived microscopic creature, it has tens of thousands of years to catch up on. In a new study published this week in the ...
