Chemistry and chemical engineering have changed very significantly since they were last reviewed by committees of the U.S. National Research Council. They have broadened their scope—into biology, ...

While many of life's mysteries remain unsolved, every biologist can describe the basic processes performed by a living ...

Imagine tiny machines, smaller than a virus, spinning inside cancer cells and rewiring their behavior from within. No surgery, no harsh chemicals, just precision at the molecular level. Two ...

The targeted engineering of artificial proteins with unique properties is now possible with the assistance of a novel method developed by a research team led by Prof. Dr. Dominik Niopek at the ...

Biology is full of molecular machines, such as motor proteins and ATP synthase, that operate self-sufficiently through cycles of oxidation and reduction. A team of human chemists at the University of ...

Biomedical engineering graduate and certificate programs are coming to Auburn University. Led by the Department of Chemical Engineering and the Biomedical Engineering Advisory Committee, the ...

Scientists at the University of Chicago and partner institutions have developed molecular qubits compatible with standard telecommunications networks—a key step toward a future “quantum internet.” The ...

Converting carbon dioxide to hydrocarbons could become a cleaner alternative to producing fossil fuels. Now, a team of researchers in China has envisioned a strategy using “molecular fences” to trap ...
