The complex precursors to biological molecules can form spontaneously in interstellar space, according to a lab experiment that opens up new pathways for the origin of life in the universe. In the ...

Given simple text prompts, an artificial intelligence-driven system can plan and execute difficult chemical reactions (Nature 2023, DOI: 10.1038/s41586-023-06792-0). The system could ease ...

Pharma and biotech communicators face the dual challenge of navigating a rapidly evolving media landscape while making increasingly complex science understandable to diverse stakeholders, said ...

Scientists have used high-performance computing at large scales to analyze a quantum photonics experiment. In specific terms, this involved the tomographic reconstruction of experimental data from a ...

Quantitative mass spectrometry-based proteomic experiments are designed to answer increasingly complex questions. For example, we may want to characterize changes in protein abundance in biological ...

Pressure, frictional heating and a disordered layer of molecules on top of the ice make skating possible Ice skating is counterintuitive: why should a narrow blade make it easier to slide over the ice ...
