Proteins are far more than nutrients we track on a food label. Present in every cell of our bodies, they work like nature's ...

Ribonucleic acids (RNAs) serve as messengers between DNA and protein production, and perform a wide variety of regulatory ...

We live in times when technology has become a regular part of our lives. Besides many portable devices, smartphones or wrist-worn fitness trackers are equipped with sensors to measure health ...

Scientists have achieved the first real-time visualization of how 'excited-state aromaticity' emerges within just hundreds of femtoseconds and then triggers a molecule to change from bent to planar ...

Structures made out of building blocks can shift their shape and autonomously self-organize to a new configuration. The physicists revealed this mechanism which may be used to actively manipulate ...

Fullerene's perfect symmetry turns a long-standing weakness of molecular electronics into a programmable three-state switch.

Chemists have discovered a new molecular shape, and it is twice as odd as the twisty Möbius strip. The Möbius strip is a looped band with a twist, such that something tiny, such as an ant, would have ...

Matthew Tirrell probably has some idea of what pioneering physicist Albert A. Michelsonexperienced when University of Chicago founding President William Rainey Harper hired him in 1892 to build a ...
