NASA’s Curiosity rover has found the largest organic molecules ever detected on Mars. The discovery was made in ...

NASA's Curiosity rover has detected long-chain organic molecules, alkanes, in an ancient Martian lake bed. Scientists argue these findings are difficult to explain through non-biological processes ...

In nature, molecules often show a strong preference for partnering with other molecules that share the same chirality or handedness. A behavior that is quite evident in the phenomenon known as ...

Researchers at the MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology in Cambridge have discovered a ribozyme that is shockingly small, yet capable of the fundamental steps of self-replication. They call it QT45 — ...

Researchers are continually looking for new ways to hack the cellular machinery of microbes like yeast and bacteria to make ...

Attaching amino acids to a hydrophobic organic molecule allows them to self-assemble into rare, knotted structures with ...

A new framework uses machine learning to simultaneously predict molecular properties and generate new molecules using only a small amount of data for training ...

Cooling atoms to ultracold temperatures of less than one millikelvin and controlling their internal energy states has led to the development of numerous technologies, including optical atomic clocks 1 ...

In work that could lead to more robust quantum computing, Princeton researchers have succeeded in forcing molecules into quantum entanglement. For the first time, a team of Princeton physicists have ...
