A simple mathematical model has helped chemists selectively synthesise a novel interwoven catenane structure. Researchers say ...

When a bone grows, our bodies’ proteins help provide the structure. When a muscle tears, proteins help rebuild it. When we fight an infection, transport oxygen in our blood or send messages to a cell, ...

The traditional approach to teaching college chemistry, which includes in-class lectures and expectations of hours of individual study, often acts as a roadblock for underrepresented students seeking ...

Surface-bound gels may have offered the structure and chemistry needed for life to take hold on Earth—and possibly elsewhere. How did life first take shape? A group of scientists from Japan, Malaysia, ...
