Researchers simulated nearly every molecule in a bacterial cell — and then watched the cell grow and reproduce.

IO@MBD combines ?-Fe2O3 nanoparticles and melamine dendrimers, creating a stable, pH-responsive platform for effective doxorubicin delivery in cancer treatment.

This study links tectonic geometry and mineralogy to aftershock behavior, revealing how hydrous minerals influence seismic activity in subduction zones.

Currently, one of those now-defunct spacecraft might be plummeting toward the planet’s surface. Days ago, the U.S. Space ...

The recipe makes fluffy cake because of a chemical reaction between baking soda and vinegar. I asked my friend Mary Fennimore about chemical reactions. She teaches chemistry at Washington State ...

Catalysts are essential to modern industry, accelerating reactions used to produce everything from fertilizers and fuels to medicines and hydrogen energy. But until now, scientists could not directly ...

Asteroids are some of the oldest objects in the solar system: leftovers from the chaotic time when planets were assembling ...

Plastic is one of the most durable materials humans have ever made. That durability has made it indispensable in medicine, food packaging and transport. But it’s also created one of the defining ...

As a young boy, I had to contend with my grandfather’s compost heap. It was a veritable Vesuvius of foul-smelling, putrescible plant waste, a metre high and hidden behind a privet hedge. We had placed ...

They’re tenacious, which is very good for a milk jug or a car bumper. But they don’t easily break down, which is bad for the environment. From the 1950s, when plastics were first produced in ...

This experiment relies on MIT to explore the optimal operating conditions for embedded immobilized biological fillers under low temperatures, given the aforementioned characteristics of rural ...

Researchers have uncovered a molecular trick used by hornwort plants that could help future crops capture carbon dioxide more efficiently. A unique protein feature called RbcS-STAR causes the key ...
