Threads or ropes can easily be used for braiding, knotting, and weaving. In chemistry, however, processing molecular strands ...

The glycocalyx surrounds each cell in the human body like a coat. This complex sugar layer plays a key role in the ...

If you rotate an image of a molecular structure, a human can tell the rotated image is still the same molecule, but a machine ...

In chemistry, however, processing molecular strands in this way is an almost impossible task. This is because molecules are not only tiny, they are also constantly in motion and therefore cannot be ...

A research team at the Politecnico di Milano has developed an innovative single-atom catalyst capable of selectively adapting ...

A team led by UT Southwestern Medical Center researchers has uncovered the atomic structure of a protein complex pivotal to ...

Scripps scientists show that ribose may have been nature’s preferred sugar for building RNA, offering new insight into how life’s molecular foundations may have formed before biology began. Today, ...

Scientists at OIST have defied a foundational rule in chemistry by creating a stable 20-electron version of ferrocene—an ...

Inside each cell of the human body are proteins that control which genes are expressed at the right place and time. However, ...
