Researchers have identified a previously unknown weak spot in prostate cancer cells that could also lead to entirely new therapeutic approaches for other types of cancer.

Scientists can now simulate the behavior of real molecules by using artificial molecules, enabling them to alter the properties of molecules in ways that are normally difficult or unrealistic and aid understanding of how molecules change.

Researchers have found that reverse-pressure sterilization can produce a less-allergenic shrimp product that, when tested in mice sensitive to the crustaceans, did not cause severe reactions.

Understanding the molecular underpinnings of how barley flowers could help to improve the yield from the plant.

Molecular "glues" are emerging as powerful tools that can stick proteins together in the body. Mass spectrometry has revealed new insights into the actions of these "glues".

Researchers have developed a highly-stable system that does not rely on precious metals to effectively harness light energy for the photocatalytic process.

Certain soapstone and granite samples from Tanzania have been found to be well suited for storing solar heat, suitable for a new approach to sustainable energy known as concentrated solar power.

Alcohols in windshield washer fluid have been found to account for a larger fraction of real-world vehicle emissions than previous estimates have suggested.

A study upends the paradigm that the atoms and molecules that make up the natural world define the character of solid matter, and argues that the character of many biological materials is actually created by the water that permeates these materials.

Zirconium-based materials have been shown to effectively separate radium and actinium, which could enable the large-scale production of radioisotopes for cancer therapy.
