Researchers at Princeton Chemistry have discovered a biosynthetic pathway that incorporates selenium into microbial small molecules, marking the first time such atoms have been uncovered in natural products, and opening new avenues in selenobiology.

From Moon landings to the Space Shuttle, stamps have depicted the best that the U.S. space program has to offer.

A physics publisher is retracting 494 papers after an investigation “indicated that some papers may have been created, manipulated, and/or sold by a commercial entity” – aka a paper mill. The vast …

After their discovery 25 years ago, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) quickly gained the aura of a "miracle material" due to their particular properties: their large inner surfaces and tuneable pore sizes facilitate improved applications, for example, in materi…

Scientists have known that sex-determination in vertebrates happens in the germ cells, a body’s reproductive cells, and the somatic cells, the cells that are

On the morning of July 19, 2001, French scientist Alain Beauvilain and three Chadian colleagues discovered a fossil cranium in the dunes of the Sahara Desert.

The molecule binds to a cellular protein, setting off a cascade of molecular activity that leads to cell growth.

In a paper recently published in the open-access journal ACS Energy Letters, researchers presented a comprehensive X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) study of three Li salts, namely lithium hexafluorophosphate (LiPF6), lithium bis-(trifluoromethanesulfony…

Scientists from the University of Gothenburg, among other places, are cautioning that forests on nutrient-poor land will not be a supplementary carbon sink in the long term.
