Researchers have demonstrated that by using a semiconductor with flexible bonds, the material can be moulded into various ...

Understanding how the energy-carrying molecule in cells does its job may have major implications for combating cancer and type 2 diabetes, among other diseases.

Researchers mould a single-element semiconductor into diverse nanoscale structures without changing its composition, enabling ...

A team of scientists has answered a long-standing question in cell biology, uncovering how the cell's main energy currency, ATP, is transported into ...

The orbital angular momentum of electrons has long been considered a minor physical phenomenon, suppressed in most crystals and largely overlooked. Scientists have now discovered that in certain ...

The existence of specialised structures that allow a continuous exchange of CSF between different anatomical compartments at ...

The groundbreaking discovery could open new doors for other researchers working with delicate materials such as cell ...

A new method in Nature Photonics uses electrochemical fluorescence modulation to separate overlapping signals in multicolor imaging—enhancing existing microscopes without hardware changes.

In biology classes from high school through university, I learned that mitochondria are little objects that reside within ...

My search for answers to these stupendously ambitious questions led me, it now seems inexorably, to mitochondria. This idea of mitochondria being little batteries with a built-in charger, about as ...

The reported cryo-EM imaging of a pentameric ligand-gated ion channel in liposomes as opposed to nanodiscs has both broad implications and contributes valuable methodological advances to the ...
