Protein synthesis: An adaptive “hive mind” of cellular proportions
New evidence suggests a hidden “intelligence” of a life-sustaining pathway.
This month in pictures
From patchwork liquid marbles, artificial nerve grafts, and giant perovskites, this gallery features a host of incredible images, bringing life to the research behind them.
Spray-on solution for common post-operative complications
Sprayed on and held in place like Velcro, researchers develop a dynamic hydrogel barrier system to improve the outcome of invasive surgery and reduce the need for additional operations.
DeepMind solves 50-year-old challenge in predicting protein folding
Using their deep-learning program, AlphaFold, researchers predict the 3D structure of proteins using only their linear amino acid sequence, revolutionizing computational biology as we know it.
The cost of chaos: If we can’t control quantity, we’d better control quality
Freeness of scientific literature is undeniably a highly desirable concept, but it is accompanied by a responsibility that we have not yet structurally realized.
Growing new cartilage with magnetic fields and hydrogels
Researchers use an enhanced technique to pattern unaltered cells within a 3D hydrogel, allowing them to recreate complex biological tissue for regenerative medicine.
Nobel prize in chemistry 2020: Precision genome editing
For the first time, two women share the Nobel prize for chemistry. Their work with CRISPR helped usher in a new generation of precision genome editing.
The Arctic has begun to enter a new climate state
An extensive study shows that the fragile Arctic landscape is changing right before our eyes. While we cannot stop the transformation, we can mitigate its effects if we reduce greenhouse gas emissions and slow climate change.
Shirley Meng: “This is materials science, it is the bread and butter of our work”
The materials scientist talks about the challenges in finding work/life balance, her research in sustainable energy storage, and how Chinese calligraphy has shaped her way of thinking.
