The uncertainty inherent to quantum mechanics has long left physicists wondering whether the observations we make on the ...

Scientists are like prospectors, excavating the natural world seeking gems of knowledge about physical reality. And in the century just past, scientists have dug deep enough to discover that reality’s ...

Three scientists won the Nobel Prize in physics Tuesday for research on the strange behavior of subatomic particles called quantum tunneling that enabled the ultra-sensitive measurements achieved by ...

Structural genomics projects aim to solve the experimental structures of all possible protein folds. Such projects entail a conceptual shift from traditional structural biology in which structural ...

Since Linus Pauling described sickle cell anaemia as the first "molecular disease", there has been an explosive growth in our understanding of the precise molecular mechanisms responsible for a ...
