A single atom can determine whether a heterocycle is easy to build, difficult to modify, or inaccessible through conventional synthetic routes. In a new study...
Lithium-ion batteries have transformed everything from smartphones to electric vehicles, yet the thin separator hidden inside each cell remains one of their most vulnerable components....
Messenger RNA transformed vaccine science during the COVID-19 pandemic, but its success depended on a delivery system capable of protecting a fragile genetic molecule and...
For decades, superconductivity has been treated as a property controlled primarily by temperature, magnetic fields, chemical composition and pressure. A new experiment now suggests that...
A new generation of optical filters could make advanced communications systems faster, more adaptable and far less dependent on fixed hardware. Researchers have reported programmable...
Acute kidney injury can damage far more than the kidneys. When renal blood flow is interrupted and then restored, the resulting ischemia–reperfusion injury can trigger...
Peptide–protein interactions sit at the center of many biological processes, from cellular signaling and immune regulation to the action of peptide hormones and emerging therapeutics....
The next great leap in artificial intelligence may depend on a technology that does not make processors faster at all. Instead, it may come from...
Microwave technology is entering a new phase in which quantum behavior may no longer be confined to dilution refrigerators and laboratory-scale cryogenic systems. In a...
Children with rhabdomyosarcoma whose tumours lack the genetic marker traditionally associated with the most dangerous form of the disease may nevertheless harbour cancer cells with...
Quantum simulators have long promised to reveal how complex quantum matter behaves—systems so difficult to calculate that even the most powerful conventional computers can quickly...
The International Osteoporosis Foundation (IOF) has announced a major change in the scientific leadership of Calcified Tissue International and Musculoskeletal Research, one of the field’s...
A new review in Ferroptosis and Oxidative Stress examines whether one class of compounds could suppress two interconnected forms of regulated cell death at the...
A new mRNA vaccine strategy designed to activate antitumor immunity without undermining the production of vaccine antigens has shown promising results in mouse models, according...
Plants may look wildly different from one continent to another, yet a new global analysis suggests that the world’s flowering vegetation is organized by a...
