Multiphoton microscopy is used in biomedical research to study cells and tissues. Today, so-called two-photon microscopy is used to study processes within cells, but the technique has limitations in ...

Minor changes in moisture level can promote lipid molecules to reorganize themselves in biomaterial or biomembranes. This can ...

Karthik Sankaranarayanan trained in two quite different scientific subfields as a graduate student and as a postdoctoral ...

A new NASA analysis concludes that it is "reasonable to hypothesize" that living things could have formed the odd organic molecules discovered on Mars.

Researchers at Johns Hopkins APL, inspired by biomolecules found in cold-tolerant organisms, are developing novel materials ...

Photocatalysts facilitate chemical reactions by absorbing light. Metal-based photocatalysts are widely used in organic ...

“Our findings suggest that Jupiter’s moons did not form as chemically pristine worlds,” Mousis said. “Instead, they may have accreted, or accumulated, a significant inventory of COMs at birth, ...

This article examines how exercise-induced exerkines prevent disease, as well as promote metabolic, cardiovascular, immune, ...

In chemistry, molecules with a "flat" geometry are often stable enough to support a wide range of reactions. But in the quantum world, that's not technically true.

NASA’s Curiosity rover has uncovered some of the largest organic molecules ever detected on Mars, and scientists say ordinary geology may not fully explain them.

Jupiter’s icy moons may have been seeded with the chemical ingredients for life from the very beginning. An international ...
