"We used to think that only very simple molecules could be created in these clouds. But we have shown that this is clearly ...

The complex building blocks of life can form spontaneously in space, a new lab experiment shows.

Scientists have shown that the building blocks of proteins can form naturally in deep space. This means the raw ingredients for life may exist long before planets are formed.

New research suggests that essential components of life may assemble in interstellar space long before planets or oceans ...

A team led by LMU chemist Oliver Trapp reports in Nature Communications. The formation of peptide bonds – the chemical bond between amino acids – in protein synthesis is one of the most important ...

Meteorites and comets likely carried simple amino acid chains to early Earth, which led to the creation of life, scientists confirmed in a series of experiments. It is widely thought that organisms on ...

The accumulation of neurofibrillary tangles is the common thread among all tauopathies, yet each amasses fibrils with a distinct fold at their core. What forces goad tau into twisting into these ...

mk2 Biotechnologies, Wacker, and the Technical University of Munich (TUM) are collaborating on a joint project targeting the development, large-scale production, and purification of antimicrobial ...
