A new study reveals how nanometer-scale thickness and interfacial polarization can control metal electronics without changing ...

A system once tied to DNA organization in cyanobacteria has evolved into a structure that shapes the cell itself. This shift ...

Science has long taken inspiration from the natural world, and few natural designs are as iconic as the helical shape that ...

Synthetic materials rarely mimic the dynamic helicity observed in biological systems like DNA and proteins, often forming ...

Discovery bolsters theory that ancient mitochondria formed brand-new, specialized ‘sacs’ in cells by shedding their outer ...

Molecular polarity and intermolecular forces explain why substances dissolve, boil, or stick together the way they do. From the shape of a molecule to the pull of its atoms, polarity determines ...

For a long time, climate change has been presented as a nearly insurmountable problem that would require a ...

You can feel wet when you can see water and when you can’t see water. You can also feel dry even when there’s a lot of water ...

From the locked geometry of cis-trans isomers to the invisible tug-of-war of molecular polarity, chemistry’s building blocks determine how substances behave. These structural differences influence ...

For decades, a collection of fossil fragments sat forgotten in museum drawers — a paleontological “cold case” waiting for ...
