A few years ago, researchers developed a novel treatment that seemed to repair tissue and spinal cord injuries. These so-called dancing molecules have now been applied to human cartilage cells, and ...

Scientists have uncovered a previously unknown type of molecular motion inside DNA-based droplets: instead of spreading randomly, guest molecules advance in an organized wave. This surprising ...

Electron spin can create differences between mirror-image molecules, a potential explanation for why life favors one ...

On the far right side of the periodic table, just beneath oxygen, sits a lesser-known group of elements called the chalcogens ...

Google DeepMind has unexpectedly released the source code and model weights of AlphaFold 3 for academic use, marking a significant advance that could accelerate scientific discovery and drug ...

Researchers uncover a mechanism that may explain why biology consistently selects one molecular form over its mirror image. A new study suggests that life’s long-standing preference for one “handed” ...

Scientists at IOCB Prague are uncovering new details of gene transcription. They have identified a previously unknown molecular mechanism by which the transcription of genetic information from ...

“The elements are like the alphabet of life. The language of life is created from the right combination of letters or characters.” This is how chemistry professor Chris Chang sees chemical biology, as ...

NASA Curiosity rover uncovers rock with 7 new organic molecules on Mars ...

For more than a century, fossils meant bones, shells and the occasional imprint of a leaf. Now, a wave of research is showing that the most revealing relics of ancient organisms are not their shapes ...
