Scientific discoveries and research
Cell function is determined by how DNA is expressed into proteins. That process includes two main steps—transcription, when messenger RNA (mRNA) makes...
Scientists from six Asian countries have launched an ambitious 10-year effort to build synthetic cells from non-living molecules, marking the region's...
Chemical reactions are the backbone to nearly all biological processes, including those used to make new medicines. However, these reactions can often...
The humble Y chromosome may be the smallest chromosome in the mammalian genome (and getting even smaller), but it is mighty: Genes on the Y chromosome...
Laser systems operating in the 2-micrometer wavelength range open diverse opportunities in medical technology, agriculture, and plastics processing. I...
Our capacity for innovation, rather than being the work of random variation, is based on an intrinsic understanding of how the world works, claim Karo...
The ocean is full of invisible workers. Trillions of microbes quietly break down carbon-containing organic matter, which helps to regulate Earth's cli...
In 2018, Caitlin Caspi started a five-year research project looking at how raising the minimum wage could impact nutrition-related health outcomes. Ca...
Nylon is a representative plastic material used throughout our daily lives, from clothing to automobiles. However, most of its raw materials have been...
Cells are typically studied outside the body under controlled laboratory conditions. However, conventional flat cell culture methods do not fully repr...
Quantum entanglement is a state in which particles are entwined with each other. In this entwined state, the properties of one particle influence the...
Researchers at iC3 have found a way to improve records of past high latitude ocean change using tiny plankton shells called foraminifera. By growing t...
