Researchers discovered a mechanism creating complex carbon molecules in a simulated planetary nebula environment. Scientists have long been puzzled by the existence of so-called “buckyballs”…
Experiments at the Department of Energy’s Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) are casting a new light on Egyptian soil and ancient mummified bone samples…
By creating protocells in hot, alkaline seawater, a University College London-led research team has added to evidence that the origin of life could have been…
The unique ways in which proteins fold dictate their interplay with diseases and medicines, so understanding their twists and turns is key to designing effective…
Animal testing will no longer be required to assess a group of deadly neurotoxins, thanks to University of Queensland-led research. Associate Professor Bryan Fry, of…
Chemists from the University of Basel have succeeded in synthesizing two complex natural products from the group of dithiodiketopiperazines (DTPs). For this, they employed a…
With a new process developed at TU Wien (Vienna), living cells can be integrated into fine structures created in a 3D printer — extremely fast…
UC Riverside-led team’s discovery keeps plants plump and offers hope for crops despite drought. A University of California Riverside-led team has created a chemical to…
There is increasing interest around the world in using timber as a lighter, more sustainable construction alternative to steel and concrete. While wood has been…
Compounds called cyclophospholipids would have held up against the planet’s harsh conditions, helping the first cells form and proliferate. Researchers must dissect the building blocks…
Neurons are not randomly arranged in the human brain. In the cortex, they are organized in interconnected clusters with high intrinsic connectivity. This modular connectivity…
Lesley Chow and her team at Lehigh University present a new 3D printing platform to fabricate multi-component scaffolds that “steal from nature” to engineer tissues…
A mystery that has baffled scientists for more than two decades is being solved by new study on the chemistry of the oceans during ice…
A new way of 3D printing soft materials such as gels and collagens offers a major step forward in the manufacture of artificial medical implants….
Researchers synthesize new liquid crystals allowing directed transmission of electricity. They can serve as organic power cables for electronic components. Liquid and solid – most…
They can make tiny cell structures visible: cutting-edge light microscopes offer resolutions of a few tenths of a nanometers—in other words, a millionth of a…
An experiment shows that one of the basic units of life — nucleobases — could have originated within giant gas clouds interspersed between the stars….
