Proteins that are no longer needed, defective, or potentially harmful are labeled with a molecular "tag" and dismantled in ...

The constant, energy-driven motion inside living cells may generate electricity in a way no one fully recognized before.

Scientists have found a way to make perovskite solar cells not only highly efficient but also remarkably stable, addressing ...

Biology has always been an unruly science. Cells divide when they want to. Genes switch on and off like temperamental lights.

The fungal compound verticillin A, discovered more than 50 years ago, has long been regarded for its potential ...

One of the most well-studied cellular responses is how they react during times of stress, such as when the temperature gets ...

Cells have a remarkable housekeeping system: proteins that are no longer needed, defective, or potentially harmful are labeled with a molecular "tag" and dismantled in the cellular recycling machinery ...

Human bodies are usually described as chemical engines, powered by glucose and oxygen. Yet a wave of new research suggests ...

Biologists have long treated the cell as a chemical factory, but a new wave of research is forcing a rethink of that familiar ...

Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have synthesised for the first time a complex fungal compound ...

Scientists grow ultra-uniform perovskite nanocrystals at room temperature, boosting yields and brighter light for future ...

Liquids and solutions may look simple, but on the molecular scale they are constantly shifting and reorganizing. When sugar dissolves in water, each sugar molecule quickly becomes surrounded by fast ...
