Cellular death is a fundamental concept in the biological sciences. Given its significance though, its definition depends on the context in which it takes place, and lacks a general mathematical ...

Physicists have long wondered why particles can only have an electric charge of +1, -2 or any whole number. Now we ...

Software tasked with designing a type-II kinase inhibitor suggests 97 candidates in 10 minutes, three of which were both ...

KAIST researchers have developed a groundbreaking single-atom editing technology using light-powered "molecular scissors" to ...

Kidney cells can make memories too. At least, in a molecular sense. Neurons have historically been the cell most associated with memory. But far outside the brain, kidney cells can also store ...

Simulation models can predict phenomena that cannot yet be investigated experimentally. This helps, for example, in preventing disease. (Image ...

Alcohols are organic compounds characterized by the presence of one or more hydroxyl (-OH) groups attached to a carbon atom. They play vital roles as building blocks in various chemical processes, ...

Johns Hopkins engineers have developed gel strips that change shape when given chemical instructions written in DNA code.

A traditional “single bond” is actually two electrons—one from each atom. This is one electron. The fragile bond required outside-the-box thinking, with a complex molecule acting as a shell. From the ...

Scientists are using artificial intelligence and powerful computing to sculpt new molecules in an effort to treat disease.

Just about everyone knows that water is H2O, meaning two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom. What might surprise people is ...

Chlorine, a low-cost and highly effective disinfectant, is the most widely used chemical for steralising drinking water ...
