Scientists created half-Möbius molecules, similar to the Möbius strips common in math classes, but half as twisty. It’s a ...

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

A team at IBM Research has assembled a strange new ring-shaped molecule that bends around like a more complicated Möbius strip ...

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

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 ...

Certain species of wasps and frogs share a pain and inflammation peptide similar to one found in vertebrates to help defend against predators—a discovery that contributes to a shifting view of how ...

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.

Many patients suffer from epilepsy that cannot be controlled by current medications. Surgical removal of epileptogenic brain regions is effective in only about half of cases, and not all patients are ...

NASA’s SPHEREx telescope detected water vapor and carbon-rich molecules from the interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS after it ...

By fine tuning the motion of molecules, scientists created an injectable therapy that encouraged the growth of neurites and ...

When cell samples stained with these molecules are examined using two-photon microscopy, the molecules behave as if they were ...
