A quiet grassland can feel still, but it is never silent. Every leaf, flower, and root releases tiny scent molecules that ...

Chemists have developed a light-driven method for producing a rare and highly strained molecular structure known as “housane.” Designing a new drug often starts with a basic but difficult task: making ...

When molecules fall apart, their electric charge doesn't stay put—it rearranges as bonds stretch and break. An international team of scientists has now tracked these ultrafast changes in the small ...

A remarkably small bacterium containing fewer than 500 genes serves as the basis for one of the most detailed digital life ...

Born in Brooklyn in 1942, Freed’s scientific trajectory began early; he and his brother Jack, who himself would go on to ...

This, in turn, altered the configuration of the orbitals to achieve the half-Möbius configuration that the researchers were ...

Atomic force microscopy reveals three distinct dynamic states in individual polymer chain segments on surfaces, challenging ...

After false starts and incremental gains, scientists crack the problem that made breathing impossible. Will answers come fast ...

Durham is to lead an ambitious new era of quantum science, funded by a landmark award from the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council ...

Dr Priyanka Dey has secured funding to develop a new technique that will give us a richer understanding of what cancer cells are made of and how they change as disease progresses ...

As part of Technology Networks' continued celebration of the achievements of inspiring women in STEMM, we caught up with Prof. Heather Pinkett to learn more about her research into bacterial pathogens ...

Scientists want to redesign psychedelics so that they don’t induce a trip—but they still improve mental health.
