Scientific discoveries and research
The search for materials that can conduct electricity at room temperature without losing energy is one of the greatest and most consequential challeng...
Drug discovery is like molecular Tetris. Chemists snap atoms together, adjusting the pieces until everything fits, and suddenly, a molecule makes a pr...
Controlling light with light is a long-sought goal for computing and communication technologies. Achieving this capability would allow optical signals...
After a heart attack, the heart struggles to recoup and maintain energy. One-third of patients develop heart failure as a result—a condition that impa...
Climate change is threatening modern life in ways we are still finding, from food security to the economy to everyday living. It has been labeled a "t...
For years, a protein inside our cells has quietly powered billions of dollars' worth of cancer drugs. Now a team of researchers have discovered that t...
AI has designed candidate drugs for antibiotic-resistant infections and genetic diseases. But efforts to incorporate AI into the design of lipid nanop...
Deep-sea waters are warming due to heat waves and climate change, and it could spell trouble for the oceans' delicate chemical and biological balance....
When Sandia scientists Ryan Davis and Nathan Bays set out to find a better way to absorb and degrade PFAS in water sources, they kept running into the...
Even when the idea of terraforming Mars was originally put forward, the idea was daunting. Changing the environment of an entire planet is not somethi...
Long before humans cultivated crops or sailed between continents, a group of plant viruses was already evolving among wild plants in Eurasia. Accordin...
Scientists usually study the molecular machinery that controls gene expression from the perspective of a linear, two-dimensional genome—even though DN...
