Now, new research by Penn State scientists has revealed this vital process may be governed by a previously unknown molecular ...

These random molecules were fed a collection of three-base-long RNAs, each linked to a chemical tag. The idea was that if a molecule is capable of ligating one of these short RNA fragments to itself, ...

Living organisms share an ancestor called the last universal common ancestor, or LUCA. LUCA is estimated to have lived ...

Antibiotic treatments are losing effectiveness against a range of common bacterial pathogens, including E. coli, K. pneumoniae, Salmonella and Acinetobacter, according to a warning issued by the World ...

The workings of electricity are often introduced to students by way of a comparison to water, with voltage analogous to pressure, current to flow rate, wires to hoses, and so on. Even in more advanced ...

The idea of self-amplifying gene editing is to get cells to pass on packages of CRISPR machinery to their neighbours, boosting the effect ...

Scientists from the McKelvey School of Engineering managed to apply the material, making fuel cells way more affordable than ...

Researchers from The Universities of Manchester and Birmingham have identified the exact nerve cells in the brain that drive ...

Researchers develop a way to stabilize low-cost iron catalysts for hydrogen fuel cells, potentially replacing expensive ...

For decades, scientists assumed that order drives efficiency. Yet in the bustling machinery of mitochondria—the organelles ...
