RNA interference is a natural mechanism for living cells to control whether specific genes are being used. Crowned with the ...

In the latest research, telescope observations of 3I/ATLAS examine its chemical structure and suggest that it took shape in a ...

A subtle change in iron ions’ electronic configuration produces a measurable difference in seismic wave speeds through mantle ...

Silver iodide is an electrical insulator, which rules out most surface-imaging tools that rely on electrons or ions. The team ...

Scientists have revolutionized the way metals are made by using lower and slower heating of alloys to control how atoms self-organize during material manufacturing. The discovery, published in Science ...

Researchers have captured the first atomic-level views of human SMUG1, a key enzyme involved in repairing damaged DNA.

On compression of alpha-cristobalite SiO2 to pressures above approximately 12 GPa, a new polymorph known as cristobalite X-I forms. The existence of cristobalite X-I has been known for several decades ...

A team at the University of Minnesota discovered that changing a metal film's thickness by just a few nanometers can dramatically alter how it behaves electronically. The finding reveals a surprising ...

The discovery from the Trinity nuclear test site shows how extreme conditions can result in materials never before seen in nature or in the lab. The term “clathrates” denotes materials characterized ...

Texas Instruments on Wednesday agreed to buy Silicon Laboratories ⁠in a deal valuing the chip designer at $7.5 billion, to expand its footprint in wireless connectivity chips used for industrial and ...

At the dawn of the nuclear age, scientists created the Doomsday Clock as a symbolic representation of how close humanity is to destroying the world. On Tuesday, nearly eight decades later, the clock ...
