Scientists at the University of Warwick have created a new way to view proteins that are inside human cells.
Using Ferritin, a large protein shell that our cells use to store iron, the researchers have found a method they have...
Lithium-air batteries are poised to become the next revolutionary replacement for currently used lithium-ion batteries that power electric vehicles, cell phones and computers.
Lithium-air batteries, which currently are still in the experimental stages of development, can store 10 times more...
By applying natural language processing tools to the movements of protein molecules, University of Maryland scientists created an abstract language that describes the multiple shapes a protein molecule can take and how and when it transitions from one shape...
Before life began on Earth, the environment likely contained a massive number of chemicals that reacted with each other more or less randomly, and it is unclear how the complexity of cells could have emerged from such chemical chaos....
In the quest for abundant, renewable alternatives to fossil fuels, scientists have sought to harvest the sun's energy through "water splitting," an artificial photosynthesis technique that uses sunlight to generate hydrogen fuel from water. But water-splitting devices have yet...
As recreational marijuana legalization becomes more widespread throughout the U.S., so has concern about what that means for enforcing DUI laws. Unlike a breathalyzer used to detect alcohol, police do not have a device that can be used in...
An international team of scientists, including a professor of chemistry from the University of Bristol, has worked out a way to improve energy storage devices called supercapacitors, by designing a new class of detergents chemically related to laxatives.
Their paper,...
The virus SARS coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is the known cause of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). The "spike" or S protein facilitates viral entry into host cells.
Now a group of researchers from Seoul National University in South Korea, University of...

Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) scientists in collaboration with University of South Florida theorists recently...
This confocal microscopic image shows a human colon organoid generated in the laboratory with human pluripotent stem cells. The organoid is shown after it was transplanted into a mouse. The engineered colon secreted proteins found in natural human colon.

A new hybrid material developed by scientists at the University of Liverpool may bring the dream of carbon-free nuclear fusion power a step closer.
The separation of hydrogen's three isotopes (hydrogen, deuterium, and tritium) is of key importance for fusion power...
