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

Researchers are continually looking for new ways to hack the cellular machinery of microbes like yeast and bacteria to make products that are useful for humans and society. In a new proof-of-concept ...

Scientists use AI to generate designs of potential new molecules, a process that is 10 times faster and more precise.

Chemistry students are taught that some molecular shapes are so strained they simply cannot exist. For about 100 years, one ...

Scientists at UC Davis created a new class of serotonin-targeting molecules using a light-driven chemical method. UC Davis scientists have created a light-based technique that converts amino acids — t ...

The new molecules selectively reduced inflammatory signaling in human immune cells without affecting other immune pathways. Treatment with the molecules also reduced inflammation in mice with the ...

Inside a lab at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology late last year, scientists gave an AI system a new task: designing entirely new molecules for potential antibiotics from scratch. Within a day ...

AMES, Iowa – With crude oil selling for less than $50 a barrel, there’s little economic incentive to develop biorenewable chemicals as only drop-in replacements for petrochemicals. That’s a reality ...

A recent study shows that computer algorithms can be used to find molecules that can be developed into anti-inflammatory drugs. In the article, the researchers also describe how the same strategy can ...
