A team of NYU chemists and physicists are using cutting-edge tools—holographic microscopy and super-resolution imaging—to unlock how cells build and grow tiny, dynamic droplets known as biomolecular ...

Chemists at the University of Geneva and University of Pisa have crafted a novel family of chiral molecules whose mirror-image “handedness” remains rock-solid for tens of thousands of years. By ...

Can you imagine a life-saving molecule whose “twin” is a deadly poison? As surprising as it may seem, this chemical reality is known as “chirality”. Like a right hand and a left hand, two molecules ...

Chirality: like a right hand and a left hand, two molecules can have the same composition, but a different shape and ...

Once thought unlikely, this new finding in coordination chemistry could lead to promising advances in catalysis and materials science. For more than 100 years, the widely accepted 18-electron rule has ...

The mineral jadarite has the same chemical composition as Superman’s weakness. It may be a problem for humans, too.

Enzymes catalyze chemical reactions in organisms - without which life would not be possible. Leveraging AlphaFold2 artificial ...

Some foods and drinks promoted as high in protein, such as peanut butter and yogurt, aren't actually as protein-rich as you'd think.

A recent study conducted by the University of Amsterdam (Amsterdam, Netherlands) and the University of Queensland (Queensland, Australia) developed a novel prioritization strategy that directly links ...

Food contains more than 139,000 molecules, which influence nearly half the human proteome. Systematic analysis of food–chemical interactions can potentially advance nutrition science and drug ...

Small variations of the chemical composition of dental alloys may affect the corrosion performance. From this point of view, Be-free Ni-Cr alloys are preferred for dental use (7) and extensive ...
