Enlarge / Maybe you can detect a single molecule with pen and paper, but it’s hard in real-life physics. (credit: SSPL/Getty Images) In science, there are results that are ho-hum and results that make everyone go ooooh. (There are also a few ho-hum results that still make everyone go ooooh.) In physics, that last category […]

While bacteria and archaea keep all of their genes on a single loop of DNA, humans scatter them across 23 large DNA molecules called chromosomes; chromosome counts range from a single […]
Scientists have identified a ‘master regulator’ in young blood that can mostly reverse aging in the brain.
IBM’s quantum computer has made a small advance that could ultimately lead to a major chemistry breakthrough. A team of IBM researchers has successfully used IBM Q to accurately simulate the molecular structure of beryllium hydride (BeH2), the largest molecule ever to be simulated by a quantum computer to date. This is pretty important, because […]
In a new study published today in Science Advances, researchers report that they’ve found a complex molecule in the atmosphere of Saturn’s moon Titan that could lead to the formation of life. Cell membranes are the outer barrier of most cells found on Earth and they, or structures like them, are crucial for life to […]

A compound in the frog’s mucus—long known to have germ-killing properties—can latch onto flu virus particles and cause them to burst apart, researchers report in Immunity. The peptide is a potent and […]
