Ribonucleic acid (RNA) molecules may be best known for their job ferrying the genetic information encoded in DNA to a cell's ...

Scientists have mapped the 3-D structure of the human sweet taste receptor, the molecular machine that allows us to taste sweet things. This could lead to the discovery of new regulators of the ...

Cells have a mailing system of sorts. They can release tiny molecular balls, called extracellular vesicles (EVs), that ...

Scientists have named the molecular structure “Eos,” after the Greek goddess of mythology who is the personification of the ...

At sufficiently high concentrations, some of the compounds called per- and poly-fluoroalkyl substances self-organize into two ...

Historically, small molecule drugs have been precisely designed down to the atomic scale. Considering their relatively large complex structures, nanomedicines have lagged behind. Researchers argue ...

The scientists have named the molecular hydrogen cloud “Eos,” after the Greek goddess of mythology who is the personification ...

Hello, Eos! Recently discovered molecular cloud is believed to be one of the largest structures in the sky and among the ...

Such molecules would be suited to acting as quantum bits, or qubits, the basic unit of information in quantum systems. But ...

When a molecule of tryptophan absorbs ultraviolet light, it glows faintly as it releases energy at a lower frequency. This ...

A new study has revealed how two morphogens, WNT and Sonic Hedgehog, act as molecular "traffic cops," directing early human ...
