Proteins are the molecular machines of cells. They are produced in protein factories called ribosomes based on their ...

GaN-, and silicon-based power transistors, modules, and other basic building blocks for more robust, efficient, and ...

Over the past two decades, researchers have learned that DNA inside the cell nucleus naturally folds into a network of ...

In 1869, Swiss scientist Friedrich Miescher isolated a mysterious substance from cell nuclei—an overlooked finding that would ...

The secret to youthful appearance and repairing scars may lie in a microscopic skin structure humans share with pigs and ...

As we age, our cells don’t just wear down—they reorganize. Researchers found that cells actively remodel a key structure called the endoplasmic reticulum, reducing protein-producing regions while ...

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

Spanning an area comparable to an entire European country, these ancient megastructures shows a level of organization that ...

Half cell solar panels, which divide conventional full-sized cells into two electrically independent halves, have moved from ...

Ultrathin titanium flow distributors made via laser micromachining achieve record fuel cell power densities, surpassing European aerospace targets set for the end of this decade.

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

Chromosomes are masters of organization. These long strings of DNA fold down into an ensemble of compact structures that keep needed parts of the genome accessible while tucking away those that aren't ...
