The brain has its own immune system, which detects threats and mounts a defense. A growing body of evidence has shown that in ...

A ring of beads connected to tentacles A modeling study shows how chemical reactions can stimulate motion in simple systems, like the structure here—made of enzyme coated beads connected to ...

UC Santa Barbara researchers are building out the repertoire of chemical reactions, using light. In a paper published in the journal Nature, chemistry professor Yang Yang and collaborators at the ...

Scientists have observed so-called roaming chemical reactions, those that at certain points move away from the lowest minimum energy path of least resistance, in highly excited energy states for the ...

Researchers are proposing a new way to curb industrial emissions, by tapping into the 'atomic intelligence' of liquid metals to deliver greener and more sustainable chemical reactions. University of ...

A team of researchers has shown that molecules can be as formidable at scrambling quantum information as black holes by combining mathematical tools from black hole physics and chemical physics and ...

The mechanics of the onset of cancer or neurodegenerative disorders like Alzheimer's disease or ALS remain a mystery.
