Injectable material made of nanoscale particles can deliver arthritis drugs throughout cartilage. Osteoarthritis, a disease that causes severe joint pain, affects more than 20 million…
Many microbes have an enzyme that can convert carbon dioxide to carbon monoxide. This reaction is critical for building carbon compounds and generating energy, particularly…
Ribosomes churn out proteins that carry out all of life’s functions, but when missing a key and previously overlooked factor, they can break down in…
How did life arise on Earth? Rutgers researchers have found among the first and perhaps only hard evidence that simple protein catalysts – essential for…
Cancer, aging-related diseases and other illnesses are closely tied to an important enzyme called “telomerase.” UCLA researchers report in the journal Cell the deepest scientific…
Block copolymers (BCPs) have been of great interest to researchers in recent years. These nanostructured materials, made from blocks of chemically dissimilar polymers, self-assemble to…
With the integration of a rudimentary metabolic function into a tiny droplet, a step has been made towards advancing the borders of life. It is…
New technique could improve electronics’ energy efficiency by removing the microscopic flaws usually formed during manufacturing. UCLA scientists and engineers have developed a new process…
Researchers from North Carolina State University have synthesized an analog of lipoxazolidinone A, a small molecule that is effective against drug-resistant bacteria such as MRSA….
Researchers at Yale and Donghua University in China have developed a new process for creating lithium metal that may boost the energy and capacity of…
New research offers evidence that humans — and the rest of life on Earth — may have been able to form with the right combination…
In terms of size, it may be the smallest scientific breakthrough ever made at Harvard. Harvard Assistant Professor of Chemistry and Chemical Biology Kang-Kuen Ni…
Caffeine is well-known for its ability to help people stay alert, but a team of researchers at MIT and Brigham and Women’s Hospital has now…
Focusing on a simple hormone in us all, a Yale researcher has found specific forms of it that poke toxic holes in cells — a…
A new approach to analyzing and designing new ion conductors — a key component of rechargeable batteries — could accelerate the development of high-energy lithium…
The average American drinks more than three cups of coffee a day, contributing to a $40 billion industry in the U.S. alone, according to the…
Scientists have found that drugs are now so prevalent that 13 per cent of those taking part in a test were found to have traces…
