A new molecule takes an unexpected turn. Scientists created half-Möbius molecules, similar to the Möbius strips common in math classes, but half as twisty. It’s a type of topology, or geometrical ...

Chemists have discovered a new molecular shape, and it is twice as odd as the twisty Möbius strip. The Möbius strip is a looped band with a twist, such that something tiny, such as an ant, would have ...

Foams and fun ingredients aren’t just for tasting menus. Molly McArdle is Food & Wine's Updates Editor. She has written and edited stories about food, wine, culture, place, and technology for more ...

According to the RNA world hypothesis, life began when RNA molecules evolved the ability to make more copies of themselves. Now we have discovered an RNA molecule that is almost capable of this – it ...

In 1869, Swiss scientist Friedrich Miescher isolated a mysterious substance from cell nuclei—an overlooked finding that would later reshape biology and our understanding of life itself. A ...

QIMR Berghofer scientists have discovered a cancer-fighting RNA molecule that could hold the key to a new way of treating the most common form of breast cancer. The team are developing their findings ...

Michael Jewett Ph.D. ’05, bioengineering and chemical engineering professor, has long been interested in how the living world works — and helping it work better. His lab’s most recent project, ReForm, ...

Nitrogen dioxide is one of the most harmful air pollutants in urban and industrial regions, contributing to respiratory disease, smog formation, and climate forcing. As governments tighten air quality ...

Dec 3 (Reuters) - Excelsior Sciences said on Wednesday it has raised $95 million to develop technology that uses machines and artificial intelligence to accelerate the development and testing of small ...

Water trapped inside tiny molecular cavities behaves in a surprisingly energetic way, pushing outward like people crammed in an elevator. When a new molecule enters these narrow spaces, the confined ...

Bill Atkinson was a computing pioneer who, in the 1980s, effectively made Apple computers usable for everyday people by transforming code into windows, menus, and graphics. But few people know that ...

Orforglipron, a small-molecule, nonpeptide oral glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist, is being investigated as a treatment for obesity. In this phase 3, multinational, randomized, ...
