Astronomers using data from the National Science Foundation’s Robert C. Byrd Green Bank Telescope (GBT) have found the largest negatively-charged molecule yet seen in space. The discovery of the third ...

A team of researchers led by Professor Sebastian Deindl at Uppsala University has developed a pioneering method that vastly improves the ability to observe and analyse complex biological processes at ...

This image of Enceladus shows half of the moon alight, its surface bright white with deep cracks colored light blue and some pitted areas. A mosaic of Saturn’s moon, Enceladus, captured by Cassini on ...

Researchers at the University of Basel have repurposed a natural enzyme so that it catalyzes a highly challenging chemical reaction. Their approach opens new possibilities for synthesizing complex ...

For the first time, scientists have captured how complex molecules change shape when exposed to UV light—an ultra-fast ...

Ten years ago, the European Space Agency’s Rosetta probe pulled up alongside a dusty, icy lump the size of a mountain. The probe would follow its quarry, a comet called 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko, for ...

Understanding the chemical properties of a molecule is an inherently quantum problem, making quantum computers a good tool ...

Scientists have created an intricate molecular map of the human body and its complex physiological processes based on the analysis of thousands of molecules in blood, urine and saliva samples from 391 ...
