Scientists show enhanced enzyme diffusion after catalysis actively drives reactions away from equilibrium, offering a new ...

When cancer-driving proteins resist various treatments, Northwestern University scientists have uncovered a new solution. Don ...

Researchers at Flinders University in Australia have developed a new thermal imaging lens made from recyclable polymers that costs less than 1 cent per unit in raw materials, a figure that could ...

Cornell researchers have uncovered a built-in molecular "gate" that controls the production of the molecule nitric oxide, a crucial signaling molecule throughout biology that in humans helps regulate ...

A version of this Priestley Medal address will be presented at the American Chemical Society Spring 2026 meeting ...

Smoke from wildfires can alter grapes and affect the taste and sensory experience of wine. Researchers are applying a calcium spray to grapes to see if the treatment can protect the fruit from smoke ...

Science is a subject built on doing. Students learn chemistry through titrations, biology through dissections, physics ...

Scientists have many theories about how Earth's raw materials turned into living cells, but a new proposal is particularly ...

Experiments reveal that unsaturated lipid membranes promote vesicle fusion and DNA retention during freeze–thaw cycles, highlighting icy environments as potential drivers of protocell evolution. Today ...

Cells constantly monitor and recycle their proteins through a tightly regulated waste-disposal system. Proteins that are no ...

Dust from asteroid Bennu is revealing a surprising origin story for life’s building blocks. New research suggests some amino acids formed in frozen ice exposed to radiation, not warm liquid water as ...

Life may have started in sticky, rock-hugging gels rather than inside cells. Researchers suggest these primitive, biofilm-like materials could trap and concentrate molecules, giving early chemistry a ...
