Tiny changes at the atomic scale can determine the future of clean energy. In a new study, Tohoku University researchers have revealed how the precise coordination environment surrounding a single ...

By freezing a crucial phosphoric acid complex to near absolute zero, scientists uncovered a single, unexpectedly stable structure at the heart of proton transport.

Scientists at Oregon State University have engineered a powerful new nanomaterial that zeroes in on cancer cells and destroys them from the inside out. Designed to exploit cancer’s unique ...

For many years, scientists have been puzzled by individuals who live in high-elevation areas throughout the world. Surveys of high-altitude populations, from areas of the Andes to regions of the ...

Jupiter’s icy moons may have been seeded with the chemical ingredients for life from the very beginning. An international team of scientists modeled how complex organic molecules—essential building ...

New research suggests that Jupiter’s icy moons may have formed with complex organic molecules already embedded in their building blocks.

Cottrell teacher-scholar award winner Meaghan Deegan balances cutting-edge research in synthetic compound stabilization with ...

More than 300,000 people suffer a heart attack in Germany every year. The heart muscle is then no longer supplied with sufficient blood and oxygen, and part of the tissue dies and scars. Unlike the ...

Scientists found that muscles store a chemical record of past inactivity that gets significantly worse with age.

Hollow graphene aerogel fibers mimicking polar bear hair achieve record-low thermal conductivity and high electrical ...
