Scientists have observed the largest-known rotating structure in the cosmos - a gargantuan thread-like assemblage of hundreds ...

The reason we can gracefully glide on an ice-skating rink or clumsily slip on an icy sidewalk is that the surface of ice is ...

Sweat is turning into one of medicine’s most revealing data streams, and artificial intelligence is learning how to read it.

Inside every human cell, six feet of DNA folds into a nucleus that is only a few micrometers wide, yet still manages to switch genes on and off with exquisite precision. The latest work on ...

Researchers find that cosmic dust acts as a catalyst, helping simple space gases form key molecules that may jump-start ...

Insights into water behavior on 2D materials, such as graphene and h-BN, could completely transform surface design for ...

Two clashing ideas about disorder inside black holes now point to the same strange conclusions, and it could reshape the ...

Water rolls on h-BN but encounters friction on graphene. Atomic structure and substrate shape nanoscale movement, guiding advances in coatings and anti-icing surfaces.

Graz University of Technology and the University of Surrey show how water moves in surprisingly different ways on ultra-thin ...

A surprising discovery about how water behaves on one of the world's thinnest 2D materials could lead to major technological improvements, from better anti-icing coatings for aircraft and ...

Life's instructions are written in DNA, but it is the enzyme RNA polymerase II (Pol II) that reads the script, transcribing ...

RNA is a central biological macromolecule, now widely harnessed in medicine and nanotechnology. Like proteins, RNA function often depends on its precise three-dimensional structure.
