Small molecules are central players as building blocks, effectors and probes of macromolecular structure and function ... biological questions. For example, the use of small-molecule modifiers ...

What if you could take a picture of every gene inside a living organism—not with light, but with DNA itself? Scientists at ...

When exposed to high temperatures and pressure, water enters a state in which liquid and gas can no longer be distinguished. For a long time, there has been controversy about how this looks like on a ...

Scientists have unveiled an innovative approach for synthesizing azaparacyclophanes (APCs), a class of highly advanced ring-shaped molecular structures with immense potential in material science.

Chemists identify a single molecule that naturally tiles in nonrepeating patterns, which could help build materials with novel electronic properties.

Scientists from Germany and Italy have uncovered details of the protective layer that surrounds the fine protrusions of cells ...

Each cell in your body relies on precise communication with other cells to function properly. At the center of this process are the molecular switches that turn communication signals in the body on ...

Researchers at Ruhr University Bochum, Germany, have shed light on the structure of supercritical water. In this state, which ...

manipulates molecular activity to assure its survival against its host's natural defenses. Their findings were recently ...

APCs are small, perfectly shaped molecular rings made up of repeating units linked in an endless loop. These macrocyclic organic compounds have a unique structure that makes them valuable basic ...

Biological cells often possess thin, hair-like protrusions on their surface known as cilia, which serve various functions ranging from movement to ...
