Researchers traced termite DNA back to cockroach ancestors and found genetic loss played a key role in building social ...

Termites became social powerhouses by stripping away genes tied to competition and independence. This genetic shedding locked in monogamy, boosted cooperation, and paved the way for their ...

Termites are among the most successful animals on Earth, forming vast societies that can number in the millions. But how did such complex social systems evolve from solitary ancestors that looked much ...

Industrial fabrication is experiencing a transformation driven by the convergence of rising production complexity, stricter quality standards, and increasing global demand for precision components.
