AI is reshaping biomedical research and drug discovery and delivery. But challenges still exist.
The discovery shines a light on what has, until now, been an underappreciated feature of evolution which suggests life is not so random after all.
Quantum computers are getting closer and closer to being useful in the real world.
Opt for a lighter, cheaper red wine if you’re trying to dodge a headache this holiday season.
Phones that transmit odors sound like science fiction, but researchers are working on making them real.
Science has a need to verify results, but DeepMind’s protein prediction tool doesn’t work this way.
Around half of US industrial energy use goes toward separating molecules in industrial processes. Developing materials that can withstand harsh industrial conditions can help increase efficiency.
Remember building model molecules with balls and sticks in chemistry class? You have J. Robert Oppenheimer to thank for that, as a quantum chemist explains.
Click and bioorthogonal chemistry has enabled researchers to closely study how molecules work in their natural state in living organisms, with applications that span from cancer treatment to polymers.
A physicist explains how atoms arrange themselves into molecules – and how scientists are able to image these tiny bits of matter that make up everything around you.
Molecular research is expensive, but worth it because of the burden of disease that it could relieve.
Apart from being a jewel of Canada’s culinary heritage, maple syrup has a complex chemical constitution.
Astronomers know a lot about what’s in outer space – and think it’s possible it never ends.
It’s all to do with the light from the Sun and a blanket of air wrapped around Earth called the ‘atmosphere’.
Pink blood, green blood, or no blood at all – when it comes to what’s inside a worm’s body, the answer is more complicated – and fascinating – than you’d think.
Physicists can use bright, hot lasers to slow atoms down so much that they measure -459 degrees Fahrenheit.
A simple chemical reaction turns the red pigment of beets into a new, nontoxic blue dye.
Gravity exists because the universe is full of ‘stuff’ – here’s how it came to be.
Everything you can touch is made of molecules – but feelings, sound and light are something different.
