Scientists at Rutgers University–Newark have developed a first-of-its-kind RNA-based nanotechnology that assembles itself inside living human cells and can be programmed to stop propagation of harmful ...

DNA's iconic double helix does more than "just" store genetic information. Under certain conditions it can temporarily fold into unusual shapes.

Unlike virtually every other cell in the human body, the syncytiotrophoblast doesn't have a single nucleus. It has roughly 10 ...

Earth observation data underpin climate science, disaster response, and environmental policy, yet inconsistent grid definitions often limit their accuracy and reuse. Researchers now present a unified, ...

The potential of microrobots is enormous. These miniature objects can be designed to carry out actions within the body, such as sensing biomarkers, manipulating objects like blood clots, or delivering ...

This puzzle is known as the problem of time, and it remains one of the most persistent obstacles to a unified theory of ...

Scientists have revealed the secret to the structural integrity of tiny particles that transport cargo from cell to cell through blood vessels and bodily fluids: special proteins that keep their ...

In hydrothermal vent fields, a small snail evolved an iron-reinforced shell. Here’s how it challenges assumptions about ...

A study shows that polarons can host stable atomic distortion patterns, reshaping how charge and energy move in materials ...

UCSF scientists discover that the spindle, the structure that divides chromosomes equally during mitosis, actually gets stronger when it is stretched.

In research that could shed light on the growth and formation of complex tissue architectures, Brown University engineers ...

Life’s fundamental structure is the cell, and so the main things that a cell does — processing biomolecules, growing, replicating its genetic material and producing a new body — are considered ...
