Dark matter seems invisible, but it makes up most matter, and we have evidence that it gives the cosmos its shape. Now ...

McGill engineers created graphene oxide origami materials that move, sense motion, and reshape themselves for soft robots.

Chemists at UCLA are showing that some of organic chemistry’s most famous “rules” aren’t as unbreakable as once thought. By creating bizarre, cage-shaped molecules with warped double bonds—structures ...

Functioning brain cells need a functioning system for picking up the trash and sorting the recycling. But when the cellular ...

A nanostructure made of silver and an atomically thin semiconductor layer can be turned into an ultrafast switching mirror ...

Chemical bonds are forces that hold atoms together in molecules through shared electrons. The rules governing bonding and the shapes of molecules are often thought to be absolute. Geometries of double ...

Proteins form the building blocks of life, but when they form unusual clumps inside the brain, they raise an alarm that something isn't right.

Modern cells are complex chemical entities with cytoskeletons, finely regulated internal and external molecules, and genetic ...
