What if glowing molecules could synchronize, much like fireflies flashing in unison? Researchers have discovered that ...

Most sensors are designed to do only one thing: detect what passes through them. But what if a sensor could do more? To ...

Turns out, changing the way atoms and molecules are arranged in a substance can give it new and fascinating properties.

Bose–Einstein condensates are states of matter that form when particles called bosons are cooled to temperatures that are ...

In nature, the rarest ingredient can be the one that holds everything together. In a new article published in Trends in ...

Asymmetric nuclei are ideal for this purpose because their lopsided shape makes small changes easier to detect. Radium, for ...

Small molecules have critical roles at all levels of biological complexity and yet remain orphans of the central dogma. Chemical biologists, working with small molecules, expand our understanding of ...

Can eating fat be good for us? Some fatty acid molecules actually play a crucial role in maintaining our health and cellular functions. By the early twentieth century, scientists and doctors widely ...

Lysosomes, the cell's recycling hubs, are best known for their role in a group of rare inherited conditions called lysosomal storage disorders, where harmful molecules build up inside these ...

Scientists have created twisted laser beams that interact differently with right-handed and left-handed molecules, revealing their identity through the fragments they produce. The approach could ...

A new genetic study links higher levels of specific fat molecules to increased ALS risk. Fat metabolism in the body was identified as a relevant pathway in ALS susceptibility. The scientists say ...
