Such molecules would be suited to acting as quantum bits, or qubits, the basic unit of information in quantum systems. But ...

Proteins form the structural and functional backbone of the cell, and any perturbation in their synthesis can disrupt normal ...

In plants, the space between cells is a key battleground during infection. To avoid recognition in this space, a strain of the bacterial tomato disease Pseudomonas syringae manipulates plants by ...

Fifty years since its discovery, scientists have finally worked out how a molecular machine found in mitochondria, the ...

The researchers identified the structure of this machine, the mitochondrial pyruvate carrier (MPC), and 50 years since its discovery, have shown how it operates like the lock on a canal to transport ...

For decades, scientists have searched for a way to outsmart Lyme disease, a stealthy infection that affects nearly half a ...

Researchers have produced the most detailed image to date of a bacteriophage -- phage for short -- that has allowed them to see for the first time the structural makeup of the part of the phage that ...

Physics is the search for and application of rules that can help us understand and predict the world around us. Central to physics are ideas such as energy, mass, particles and waves. Physics ...
