For every life-changing new drug that comes to market, many candidates fail along the way. An artificial intelligence-based tool developed at the University of Oregon could help scientists better predict how hypothetical new drugs might act in the body before running expensive tests.

An international team of researchers reports the result of an incredible experiment performed on Mars. It had never been done before on another planet, and the experiment revealed more than 20 organic molecules that had been trapped in clay for 3.

A newly discovered molecule could reshape the future of weight loss treatments by mimicking the powerful appetite-suppressing effects of drugs like Ozempic — but without many of the unpleasant side effects.

Aromatic molecules are known for their stable electronic structures. These molecules typically adopt planar geometries with delocalized π-electrons and can form assemblies through π–π stacking interactions.

Protein droplets serve important biological functions within cells, but in neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's, these liquid-like droplets can form solid-like clumps known as fibrils. This disrupts the droplets' normal physiological functions,

Have you ever heard of spermidine? The name is curious, but in recent years this natural substance has become the focus of numerous studies on longevity and healthy aging. This is not a passing fad, but a molecule that occurs naturally in our bodies and in many common foods.

Beyond the rather low efficiency of today’s solar panels in converting the power of the sun into electricity, the transformational potential of solar energy is presently held back by battery storage technology.

Scientists have achieved the unthinkable by stabilizing a highly reactive molecule in water, confirming a decades-old theory about vitamin B1’s role in the body. The breakthrough not only solves a scientific mystery but could revolutionize greener chemical manufacturing.

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 calculate as the circumference of planet Earth.
