Controlling interactions between molecules and their functions from the molecular level to the macroscopic scale is challenging in supramolecular and materials chemistry. To this end, a research team ...

The immune system, the body's defense network against infections and injuries, can sometimes become too active. In these ...

Scientists create cold radioactive radium molecules to search for clues behind the universe's matter-antimatter imbalance.

Electric voltage precisely controls the spin of single magnetic molecules on surfaces, advancing efficient quantum computing ...

Small molecules have critical roles at all levels of biological complexity and yet remain orphans of the central dogma. Chemical biologists, working with small molecules, expand our understanding of ...

A supernova remnant is supposed to be a rough neighborhood for a newborn star. Shock waves rip through space at thousands of ...

A molecule is a group of atoms bonded together. Molecules make up nearly everything around you – your skin, your chair, even your food. They vary in size, but are extremely small. You can’t see an ...

Two scientists have won the Nobel Prize in chemistry for developing "an ingenious tool for building molecules" that is also cheap and environmentally-friendly. About twenty years ago, the two ...

Water molecules surround the genetic material DNA in a very specific way. Scientists have discovered that, on the one hand, the texture of this hydration shell depends on the water content and, on the ...

These epidemiologic patterns highlight the limitations of focusing on genetics alone. Although the Human Genome Project greatly expanded our understanding of hereditary contributions to disease, genes ...

Some of the innermost workings of molecules are being revealed for the first time. When molecules gain an electric charge, their structure can change, and now we have watched it happen. Shadi Fatayer ...
