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.

A first-in-class drug engineered to selectively inhibit the signaling pathway of the cannabinoid receptor shows promise as a safe and effective treatment for cannabis use disorder.

Scientists have designed a helmet for American football players that contains liquid shock absorbers that could reduce the impact of blows to the head by a third.

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.

A central difficulty in controlling greenhouse gas emissions to slow down climate change is finding them in the first place.

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.

Taurine, a chemical found in shellfish, meat and energy drinks, may extend lifespan and healthspan – the length of life spent not suffering from disease – in mice and monkeys, suggests new research.

Octopuses use RNA editing to rapidly respond to environmental temperature changes by altering protein function.
