The very first life on earth is thought to have developed from 'protocells' -- liquid mixtures of many different types of molecules. Researchers have now shown that in such mixtures, small imbalances ...

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

In addition to conventional secreted factors, cells also secrete ncRNA molecules (RNAkines). The molecular types of secreted factor are in bold, and representative examples or subfamilies, such as ...

Researchers from Hanns-Christoph Nägerl's group have produced the world's first ultracold KCs molecules in their absolute ground state. Starting by mixing clouds of potassium and cesium atoms cooled ...

A version of this story appeared in Volume 103, Issue 11 Chemists and chemical biologists just keep dreaming up new ways to interfere with biomolecules. That research frequently leads to promising ...

Much of the world we see around us is made up of complicated molecules. If you go to the store, virtually everything you see—every bottle of nail polish, every bag of lawn fertilizer, and every ...
