In its purest form (with no extra debris), liquid water can exist as a liquid until -40°C if left still (unmoving). In order ...

Scientists have built atom-sized pores that act like living ion channels, opening the door to next-generation nanotech.

Researchers at the University of Michigan have revealed that cells use a previously unknown feat of molecular craftsmanship ...

In the evolutionary history of life, the ability of a cell to separate its inner world from the external environment was an ...

For years, biomolecular condensates were thought to be simple, liquid-like droplets with little internal organization. New ...

Researchers discovered that immune-related proteins form membrane-bound rings that help regulate cell death signals, ensuring ...

When we artificially induce rain or snow, we use a process called cloud seeding. Particles are launched into the sky to give water molecules a surface to freeze onto. As the ice crystals grow heavier, ...

Scientists recorded 24 hours of the cellular construction process, revealing surprising new details about how plant cell ...

A remarkably small bacterium containing fewer than 500 genes serves as the basis for one of the most detailed digital life ...

Despite its importance to the survival of our cells, the processes of plasma membrane repair have remained elusive. Their relevance is underscored by the fact that mutations in plasma membrane repair ...

In the evolutionary history of life, the ability of a cell to separate its inner world from the external environment was an important turning point. The so-called plasma membrane lets cells control ...
