Some of the keys to unlocking the origin of life lie encrypted in the ribosome, life’s oldest and most universal assembly of molecules

Work could help scientists better understand signaling between cells, and provide insights for designing new classes of therapeutics

New funding will allow scientists to explore the formation of novel types of molecular aggregates at extreme conditions

Such citations were more likely to criticize highly-read papers, and that the criticisms focused on specific sections of the papers

Work expands the general applicability of researchers' resistive force theory of terradynamics

Such systems would no longer require heat sinks or cooling fans on top of the integrated circuits

New tech could be used to create space structures, deployable medical devices, robots, toys and a range of other structures

Researchers have created a new capability to minimize the human health effects of air pollution resulting from electric power generating facilities.

Recent study shows that genomic sequence elements that were previously thought to be mere “junk DNA” have a critical role

Using a hybrid silica sol-gel material and self-assembled monolayers of a common fatty acid, researchers have developed a new capacitor dielectric material that provides an electrical energy storage capacity rivaling certain batteries, with both a high energy density and high power density.

Researchers identify neural signature of tunnel vision

Anyone who’s ever noticed a water puddle drying in the sun has seen an environment that may have driven the type of chemical reactions that scientists believe were critical to the formation of life on the early Earth.

Researchers have developed a new informatics technology that analyzes existing data repositories of protein modifications and 3D protein structures to help scientists identify and target research on “hotspots” most likely to be important for biological function.

Scientists around the world are using the programmability of DNA to assemble complex nanometer-scale structures. Until now, however, production of these artificial structures has been limited to water-based environments, because DNA naturally functions inside the watery environment of living cells.

Quantum computers are in theory capable of simulating the interactions of molecules at a level of detail far beyond the capabilities of even the largest supercomputers today. Such simulations could revolutionize chemistry, biology and materials science, but the development of quantum computers has been limited by the ability to increase the number of quantum bits, or qubits, that encode, store and access large amounts of data.
