Ribonucleic acids (RNAs) serve as messengers between DNA and protein production, and perform a wide variety of regulatory ...

Google LLC’s quantum division today released research showing that its Willow quantum chip can provide elegant and accurate simulations about the physical properties of molecules much faster than ...

When chemists design drug candidates, shape matters enormously. Many active pharmaceutical ingredients contain branched ...

Structures made out of building blocks can shift their shape and autonomously self-organize to a new configuration. The physicists revealed this mechanism which may be used to actively manipulate ...

Neuroscientists from Johns Hopkins Medicine say they have determined how a brain cell surface molecule shapes the way certain neurons behave. The research, published October 2 in Nature, reveals how a ...

Scientists have achieved the first real-time visualization of how 'excited-state aromaticity' emerges within just hundreds of femtoseconds and then triggers a molecule to change from bent to planar ...

Certain cells have an unusual shape that is similar to an oak leaf or puzzle piece, and researchers have found that the form of these cells helps them withstand dramatic changes in volume. These cells ...

Chemistry students are taught that some molecular shapes are so strained they simply cannot exist. For about 100 years, one of those supposed impossibilities has been locked into textbooks as a hard ...
