Using high-speed atomic force microscopy (HS-AFM), the Kanazawa University team led by Mikihiro Shibata filmed the dynamic movements of CaMKII at the single-molecule level. The images revealed that α ...

Mathematician Katie Steckles explains just why the proliferation of snowflake decorations this time of year is deeply ...

Lithium-ion batteries can become unstable under certain conditions, leading to fires. Now, researchers have used new materials that they say can make batteries safer.

DNA origami cages constrain individual proteins toward preferred orientations on electrodes, dramatically improving electrical measurement precision and enabling detection of subtle structural changes ...

Nebulae are some of the most breathtaking sights in the universe — vast clouds of gas and dust where stars are born, or where they meet their spectacular ends. From the delicate wisps of the Veil ...

Researchers from Tokyo Metropolitan University have successfully traced the mechanism behind how an industrially important ...

Now, researchers at the University of Chicago Pritzker School of Molecular Engineering and the Abdus Salam International ...

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 ...

Chemical reactions are the breaking and forming of chemical bonds, which are fundamental to the creation of new technologies. Inevitably, discovering and developing new chemical reactions is a ...

A 40-atom gold nanocluster breaks from gold's signature dense packing, forming square atomic planes with a central channel that accelerates electron relaxation about 80x.

Donald Trump's administration is turning immigration screening into the backbone of a DNA surveillance system that reaches ...

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