A team of University of Notre Dame researchers led by Mayland Chang and Shahriar Mobashery have discovered a new class of antibiotics to fight bacteria such as methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and other drug-resistant bacteria that threaten public health.

Scientists are working toward even stronger and more elastic glass types which would fail in a ductile fashion instead of shattering.

Exposing leafy vegetables grown during spaceflight to a few bright pulses of light daily could increase the amount of eye-protecting nutrients produced by the plants, according to a new study by researchers at the University of Colorado Boulder.

The trick to producing a synthetic version of this superstrong material may finally be realized.

The ability to locate and count small numbers of impurity atoms could lead to advances in modern electronics and optical fiber communication networks.

Carnegie Mellon University's Metin Sitti Develops System for Replicating How Geckos Keep Webbed Feet Sticky and Clean.

For close to two decades, Cornell University scientists have developed processes for using polymers to self-assemble inorganic nanoparticles into porous structures that could revolutionize electronics, energy and more.

JILA physicists used an ultrafast laser and help from German theorists to discover a new semiconductor quasiparticle—a handful of smaller particles that briefly condense into a liquid-like droplet.

Physicists propose a modular quantum computer architecture that offers scalability to large numbers of qubits.

Wyatt Technology Corporation, the world leader in absolute macromolecular characterization instrumentation and software, has published a new whitepaper on characterizing molecular structure in synthetic and natural polymers by multi-angle light scattering.

New technique developed at MIT produces highly selective filter materials, could lead to more efficient desalination.

For years, researchers have worked to develop novel molecules for therapeutic or research purposes, and have relied on directed evolution as a powerful technique for generating molecules that exhibit the properties they want.
