Chemists have created a novel, synthetic, three-stranded molecule that functions just like a natural metalloenzyme, bringing them one step closer to artificial enzymes capable of mimicking the powers of natural enzymes.

Research has found that men who endorse hegemonic ideals of masculinity — or “toxic masculinity” — can become socially isolated as they age, impacting their health, well-being and overall happiness.

Climate change and urbanization are expected to cause an increase in groundwater organic carbon, threatening the quality and availability of drinking water of more than half of the world’s population.

In a new study , researchers find that by analyzing the changes in the waveforms they record from neurons during a heartbeat, they can more accurately classify the different types of neurons in the human brain.

Researchers have shown that the CRISPR-Cas system can be used to effectively target and eliminate specific gut bacteria, such as the pathogen that causes colitis – a chronic, degenerative disease of the colon.

A new study has demonstrated how commercially available head mounted displays (HMD) could be used to simulate the day-to-day challenges faced by people with glaucoma.

For plants, sunlight can be a double-edged sword. They need it to drive photosynthesis, the process that allows them to store solar energy as sugar molecules, but too much sun can dehydrate and damage their leaves.

People who rate themselves as highly knowledgeable about a new infectious disease threat could also be more likely to believe they don’t know enough, a new study suggests.

Researchers turn back the biological hands of time, making adult cells revert to a primitive state with the potential to replace and repair retinal blood vessels.

Pairing chemotherapy nanodrugs with a nutritional supplement can reduce devastating side effects while decreasing the amount of the expensive drugs needed to treat cancer according to a study from Carnegie Mellon University and Taiwan’s National Health Research Institutes.
