It’s a fundamental lesson from school that the speed of light in a vacuum is a universal constant, an ultimate cosmic speed ...

Researchers have explored how a particular chemical can selectively trap certain molecules in the cavities of its ...

DNA and other small molecules in labs at Tufts University had better get used to saying "cheese." That's because the Massachusetts experts have developed an amazing imaging method that can provide the ...

Solar-driven photocatalytic water splitting offers a sustainable route for hydrogen production. Researchers have explored ...

Scientists demonstrated a new way to use high-energy particle smashups at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC), a world ...

This could, in turn, help in the fight against cancer. Figure 1 Illustration of a DNA strand with silver atoms The use of ...

Inside a hunk of a material called a semimetal, scientists have uncovered signatures of bizarre particles that sometimes move like they have no mass, but at other times move just like a very massive p ...

Using state-of-the-art technology, researchers have identified several specific steps needed for CRISPR to become active and perform its gene editing function. These preclinical findings could lead to ...

Scientists have now sequenced the DNA of those remains, and while they could not prove once and for all that the remains are those of the Well-man, their findings are consistent with that ...

New ancient DNA analysis also suggested that the dead man's ancestors came from southern Norway, which challenges the assumption by some researchers that he was one of the castle defenders from ...

Quantum entanglement is one of the most perplexing phenomena in physics. This bizarre concept proposes that two particles become linked, and any change to one causes an “instantaneous” change ...

Methylation is a process by which enzymes add a methyl group (a molecule comprised of one carbon atom and three hydrogen atoms) to certain sites on the DNA strand. This allowed the team to ...
