A new Dartmouth study opens new avenues for understanding—and potentially manipulating—how cells decide to live or die.

Proteins are essential biological molecules that perform a vast array of functions crucial for life, from catalyzing biochemical reactions and transporting molecules to providing structural support ...

Chemists have long been fascinated and frustrated by saxitoxin: a molecule that causes temporary paralysis by blocking the ...

A leading education union boss says headteachers will be unable to fulfil the government's latest plan to teach the sciences separately at GCSE because of an overwhelming lack of specialist teachers.

A new analysis of archival Cassini spacecraft data has definitively confirmed that organic molecules detected in the icy plumes emanating from Saturn’s moon Enceladus originate directly from its ...

Quantum technologies might seem incompatible with life. The quantum bits, or qubits, that make them up commonly require ultracold temperatures, and rely on hard, orderly materials like diamond or ...

If you learned about biology and quantum mechanics in the same course, it was probably in the form of two unrelated chapters in different parts of the syllabus in something like an integrated science ...

At first glance, biology and quantum technology seem incompatible. Living systems operate in warm, noisy environments full of constant motion—while quantum technology often requires extreme isolation ...

Using a novel lab method they developed, researchers have identified nine molecules in the blood that were elevated in teens diagnosed with depression. These molecules also predicted how symptoms ...

Imagine drawing on something as delicate as a living cell -- without damaging it. Researchers have made this groundbreaking discovery using an unexpected combination of tools: frozen ethanol, electron ...

Purdue University College of Science has named Professor Peristera Paschou as the next head of the Department of Biological Sciences Professor Peristera Paschou, a researcher focusing on genomics and ...

“The elements are like the alphabet of life. The language of life is created from the right combination of letters or characters.” This is how chemistry professor Chris Chang sees chemical biology, as ...
