New developments in microalgae cultivation are helping to propel the potential of renewable biofuels to combat climate change.
It’s too hot for bare feet, but that doesn’t mean you can cook a fry-up on the path outside your house. A frying pan is a much better tool for the job, because it conducts heat far more efficiently.
DNA and mRNA vaccines produce a different kind of immune response than traditional vaccines, allowing researchers to tackle some previously unsolvable problems in medicine.
Getting involved in citizen science projects can be a great way to have a positive impact on the world.
Using a form of artificial intelligence called deep neural networks, researchers can generate new proteins from scratch without having to consult nature.
Analyzing the genes that determine hair colour can shed light on other conditions that are affected by melanin production, like vitiligo.
Every cancer is different. Grouping cancer mutations by their structure and function could help make treatments more personalized.
The joint award recognizes the long road to deciphering the biology behind the brain’s ability to sense its surroundings – work that paves the way for a number of medical and biological breakthroughs.
Many features of proteins are analogous to music. Mapping these features together creates new musical compositions that help researchers learn about proteins.
There’s a way for parents to spot the fraud.
Scientists still still don’t fully understand how general anaesthesia affects the brain and body. A molecule found in bioluminescent stony coral may shed some light.
In the spotlight for its role in COVID-19 vaccines – and a Nobel Prize – mRNA is not a new invention. It’s a crucial messenger molecule at work every day in every cell in your body.
The coronavirus pandemic has driven a lot of scientific progress in the past year. But just as some of the social changes are likely here to stay, so are some medical innovations.
A biologist explains what proteins do in viruses, how they interact with human cells, how the vaccine delivers mRNA into the cell and how antibodies protect us.
A biologist explains where proteins come from and what role the 20,000 or so proteins in your body play in keeping you alive and kicking.
SARS-CoV-2 mutates all the time, creating new variants. That doesn’t automatically mean it’s getting more harmful or better at spreading.
Scanning through billions of chemicals to find a few potential drugs for treating COVID-19 requires computers that harness together thousands of processors.
Researchers are starting to understand why the bones of diabetic people are more prone to fractures.
Pizza might seem like a simple food, but it’s uniquely equipped to excite our brains and thrill our taste buds.
