Drug delivery researchers have vastly improved the potential of genetic therapies by overcoming the challenge of consistently getting genes and gene-editing tools where they need to be within cells.

His job is to reimagine the future of drugmaking using that similarly trendy branch of computer science, artificial intelligence (AI). He is applying this to transferring as much of the load as ...

This article examines how cultivated fat has the potential to bridge the gap between plant-based analogs and authentic animal tissue.

Crystal jellyfish have an eerie beauty: thanks to a natural protein, they emit a faint green glow. For decades, researchers ...

“Our findings suggest that Jupiter’s moons did not form as chemically pristine worlds,” Mousis said. “Instead, they may have accreted, or accumulated, a significant inventory of COMs at birth, ...

Jupiter’s icy moons may have been seeded with the chemical ingredients for life from the very beginning. An international ...

NASA scientists are increasingly struggling to explain a remarkable discovery made by the Curiosity rover on Mars without at least considering the possibility of ancient life. Last year, Curiosity ...

The molecules: decane, undecane, and dodecane are hydrocarbons, long chains of carbon and hydrogen more commonly associated with petroleum on Earth. Their size alone sets them apart from previous ...

In 2025, scientists reported the discovery of long-chain organic molecules called alkanes in the ancient mudstones of Mars. Now, in a new study, a team led by Alexander Pavlov of NASA's Goddard Space ...

Is 3I/ATLAS just a comet — or an intergalactic ark? A NASA spacecraft has discovered organic chemicals on 3I/ATLAS, which Harvard scientist Avi Loeb claims raises the possibility that the comet is an ...

We all struggle with self-control sometimes. We tell ourselves only one more piece of chocolate, one more glass of wine, one more episode of a binge-worthy series before bed, but then carry on ...

NASA’s Curiosity rover has discovered the largest organic molecules ever detected on Mars. Found inside a 3.7-billion-year-old rock from a dried-up lakebed, these long-chain carbon molecules raise new ...
