Researchers have created what they say may count as the first synthetic cell, and have started a public benefit corporation to share the technology with

From chemical building blocks, scientists have created synthetic cells that have most of the hallmarks of life.

Scientists built a synthetic cell that combines more lifelike properties than ever before — proof of concept that it’s possible to bring nonliving materials to life, or something…

Tiny, quivering spheres designed to feed and multiply raise prospect of artificial organisms to make drugs, food and fuel

Scientists say they have built a cell from scratch for the first time that feeds, grows and replicates like a natural cell, a breakthrough in synthetic biology.

SpudCell can feed, divide, and even outcompete its siblings. It's not truly alive, its creator tells us, but it could still transform the bioengineering world

It was built from non-living chemical components but can replicate a biological cell’s life cycle
