Every medication in your cabinet, every material in your phone's battery, and virtually every compound that makes modern life work started as a molecular guess, with scientists hypothesizing that a ...

The broader shift is toward forecasting rather than reacting. Instead of detecting disease only after it crosses a threshold, systems will track trends that indicate future risk. The value of next ...

As the first month of the new year comes to a close, edie and our innovation partner Springwise shine a spotlight on six of ...

Advanced electronic noses and algorithms are transforming robotic olfaction, enabling machines to detect odors for improved ...

By combining two fundamentally different microscopy techniques, researchers can now measure the optical properties of a ...

In a move aimed at revising and standardising laboratory testing charges for drugs, vaccines, and traditional medicines, the ...

The complex building blocks of life can form spontaneously in space, a new lab experiment shows.

Researchers built a living biosensor made of bacteria that lights up when it detects acetic acid, the main chemical signal ...

Fibre lasers are lasers made from thin strands of a light-guiding glass. Atomic or molecular impurities introduced into the fibre when it is formed provide the optically active component, and the ...

A group of researchers has demonstrated a method that allows scientists to experimentally measure how the chemical bonds of materials are altered when two different materials are linked together. This ...
