For more than a century, fossils meant bones, shells and the occasional imprint of a leaf. Now, a wave of research is showing ...

In June 2019, Christopher Lima was named Chair of the Structural Biology Program in the Sloan Kettering Institute. In this Q&A, Dr. Lima talks about the roles of technology and collaboration in ...

"ROCK is breaking the current limits of RNA structural investigations and enables 3D structures of RNA molecules to be unlocked that are difficult or impossible to access with existing methods, and at ...

An international research team has succeeded in controlling the chirality of individual molecules through structural isomerization. The team also succeeded in synthesizing highly reactive diradicals ...

For more than 50 years, scientists have sought alternatives to silicon for building molecular electronics. The vision was ...

Researchers identify a shared RNA-protein interaction that could lead to broad-spectrum antiviral treatments for ...

Research published in the Journal of the American Chemical Society demonstrates a new way to make carbon-based battery ...

MIT scientists have achieved the first-ever lab synthesis of verticillin A, a complex fungal compound discovered in 1970. Its delicate structure stalled chemists for decades, despite differing from ...

The ability to produce cold and ultracold molecules has opened new avenues to probe fundamental physics, develop novel technologies and understand quantum chemical phenomena. Through precise ...

Scientists have identified a previously unknown natural compound produced by heat-loving cyanobacteria that helps protect against ultraviolet radiation.
