NYU scientists are using light to precisely control how tiny particles organize themselves into crystals. Their research, published in Chem, provides a simple and reversible method for forming ...

The Schrödinger equation rewrote the rules of matter and forever changed the field of chemistry. Donald Truhlar, a chemist at the University of Minnesota, calls it the “greatest advance of the 20th ...

Researchers have been studying tens of thousands of proteins and even more variations without a yardstick to compare their results.

A pore smaller than one nanometer reads peptide sequences amino acid by amino acid, pinpointing single-site Alzheimer's ...

Southwest Research Institute was part of an international team that demonstrated how complex organic molecules (COMs), key chemical precursors to life, could have been incorporated into Jupiter's ...

The deficit is undermining national efforts to nurture a generation of scientists, engineers and health professionals.

Researchers in Belgium have unveiled a striking chemical reaction in which ripples along a frozen reaction front resemble the ...

A meteorite chip sat in a small container, bathed in liquid, while the International Space Station floated overhead. Inside, ...

The Hanford Tank Waste Treatment and Immobilization Plant was built to turn that nuclear waste into glass; it started ...

Researchers have built a realistic human mini spinal cord in the lab and used it to simulate traumatic injury. The model reproduced key damage seen in real spinal cord injuries, including inflammation ...

Using gold flakes, salt water, and light, scientists have made the universe’s invisible binding forces visible in color. The discovery opens new possibilities for studying how matter organizes itself ...
