We all struggle with self-control sometimes. We tell ourselves only one more piece of chocolate, one more glass of wine, one more episode of a binge-worthy series before bed, but then carry on ...

One of the discoveries that fundamentally distinguished the emerging field of quantum physics from classical physics was the observation that matter behaves differently at the smallest scales. A key ...

“Dancing molecules,” the promising new treatment for acute spinal cord injuries developed at Northwestern University, has received Orphan Drug Designation from the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA ...

This whopping piece of molecular architecture incorporates 2,712 atoms across 12 identical macrocycles held together by 144 hydrogen bonds (Nature 2025, DOI: 10.1038/s41586-024-08266-3). It’s not the ...

Researchers at Tulane University synthesized dodecaphenyltetracene—four fused benzene rings surrounded by 12 pendant phenyl rings—in three steps. The molecule is of interest for organic electronics ...

Ten years ago, the European Space Agency’s Rosetta probe pulled up alongside a dusty, icy lump the size of a mountain. The probe would follow its quarry, a comet called 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko, for ...

"By learning more about how these molecules form and are transported in space, we learn more about our own solar system and so, the life within it." When you purchase through links on our site, we may ...

It’s one of those scientific questions that’s so simple, so fundamental, it’s hard to believe we didn’t have an answer—until now: What does water look like when it’s forming? From oceans to puddles, ...

New therapy uses synthetic nanofibers to mimic the natural signaling of a protein that is crucial for cartilage formation and maintenance. Researchers found that intensifying the motion of molecules ...
