In the heart of our galaxy, scientists have discovered the largest sulfur-bearing molecule ever detected beyond Earth, with significant implications for the study of the cosmic origins of life. The ...

Scientists have discovered the largest organic molecule containing sulfur — a key ingredient for life — ever identified in interstellar space. The researchers call the discovery a “missing link” in ...

Researchers revealed that the microbial metabolite TMA can directly block the immune protein IRAK4, reducing inflammation and improving insulin sensitivity. The molecule counteracts damage caused by ...

A new type of all-carbon molecule has been studied under normal room-temperature conditions. This marks only the second time this has ever been done, after spherical buckyballs were synthesised 35 ...

Not long after the Big Bang, the universe was still scorching hot and filled with loose particles. It took hundreds of thousands of years before things cooled down enough for atoms to come together ...

Long before stars lit up the sky, the universe was a hot, dense place where simple chemistry quietly set the stage for everything to come. Scientists have now recreated the first molecule ever to form ...

In a single experiment mimicking space’s extreme cold, vacuum, and radiation, scientists produced methanetetrol—upending our view of interstellar chemistry and hinting at richer, more dynamic ...

Orforglipron is a small-molecule, nonpeptide glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist in clinical development for type 2 diabetes and weight management. Additional data on the efficacy and ...

Today, most of us carry a fairly powerful computer in our hand—a smartphone. But computers weren’t always so portable. Since the 1980s, they have become smaller, lighter, and better equipped to store ...
