Proteins often function in pairs or groups, concealing their internal connection points and making it difficult for scientists to study their individual units without altering their natural structure.

How does our DNA store the massive amount of information needed to build a human being? And what happens when it's stored incorrectly? Jesse Dixon, MD, Ph.D., has spent years studying the way this ...

Electrically switchable adhesion in a ferroelectric polymer film enables clean, fast, solvent-free transfer of graphene from copper growth substrates to target surfaces.

Matthew Fuchter, who develops novel molecular systems at the University of Oxford, calls this “an exciting study [that] ...

This enormous chain of hundreds of galaxies—a cosmic filament—is twisting through space 400 million light-years away ...

These random molecules were fed a collection of three-base-long RNAs, each linked to a chemical tag. The idea was that if a molecule is capable of ligating one of these short RNA fragments to itself, ...

A long-standing chemistry challenge has been solved with the synthesis of a five-atom silicon aromatic ring. The breakthrough validates decades of theory and points toward new industrially relevant ...

An organic molecule called methanimine was found scattered throughout a dense clump of gas and dust 554 light-years away.

In 2023, NASA’s OSIRIS-REx spacecraft collected samples of 4.6-billion-year-old rocks from an asteroid called Bennu and ...
