Imagine a microscopic locomotive moving back and forth along a track, propelling itself without any external force. At the ...

Each cell in your body relies on precise communication with other cells to function properly. At the center of this process ...

Scientists have discovered 'berkelocene,' the first organometallic molecule to be characterized containing the heavy element berkelium. The breakthrough disrupts long-held theories about the chemistry ...

Cancer cells have an insatiable appetite for energy as they multiply more rapidly than normal cells. Greedy cancer cells ...

Chemists identify a single molecule that naturally tiles in nonrepeating patterns, which could help build materials with novel electronic properties.

A genetic mutation in mice affects cells required for sexual reproduction and holds clues about male infertility that could pave the way for new treatments and male contraceptives, a Rutgers ...

Transformational drugs rarely emerge from a targeted, application-driven approach. Rather, they arise from deep scientific inquiry over many years, an approach that only robust, early-stage funding ...

It seeks to explain biological function in terms of molecular structure, dynamics and organization, from single molecules to supramolecular structures. HIV-1 TAR RNA plays key roles in viral ...

Scientists at Sanford Burnham Prebys and the Mayo Clinic used cryogenic electron microscopy to create 3D images detailing the overall structure of ubiquitous mitochondrial creatine kinase.

Plants are very important living things. They have lots of jobs, such as providing animals with food and releasing oxygen into the air. To survive and carry out these jobs, they all need three ...
