A Florida State University chemist has developed a method to rapidly assemble significantly complex natural molecules with potential for biomedical applications, opening the door for novel drug ...

DNA strands on tiny beads hide and reveal encrypted messages through programmable fluorescence patterns read by flow cytometry.

Traditional chemistry textbooks present a tidy picture: Atoms in molecules occupy fixed positions, connected by rigid rods. A molecule such as formic acid (methanoic acid, HCOOH) is imagined as ...

A team led by Professor Shoichiro Asayama at Tokyo Metropolitan University has synthesized a charge-free molecule designed to sneak plasmid DNA into living cells via hydrogen bonding, dramatically ...

Getting DNA into a living cell sounds simple, until you remember the cell’s outer membrane acts like a guarded wall. DNA strands carry a negative charge, and they do not cross that wall easily.

What is the size of a single molecule of oil? What may initially seem like a trick question – answerable only through the use of complicated, high-tech scientific equipment – is actually as easy to ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. A 13-atom molecule containing sulfur (seen in this illustration) was discovered in interstellar space for the first time. - ...
