In a quiet lab at Utrecht University, researchers have built a tool that lets you watch one of life’s most serious crises ...

Inside cells, RNAs and proteins form tiny, liquid-like droplets called biomolecular condensates. These droplets are essential for organizing cellular life, yet why some RNAs cluster more readily than ...

Researchers around the world are studying how the human brain achieves its extraordinary complexity. A team at the Central ...

The circular arrangement of pits forms a boundary over two kilometers wide, enclosing more than three square kilometers around the Durrington Walls henge and Woodhenge monuments. Each pit measures up ...

Correcting misinformation after it has gone viral is a common way of informing the public that what they've encountered may ...

In two experiments, researchers have found that introducing people to "mental models" about how mRNA vaccination works and ...

James Watson, who shared the Nobel prize for his work on DNA’s molecular structure, has died at the age of 97. Working alongside Francis Crick, Watson helped to uncover DNA’s famous double helix ...

James D. Watson, whose co-discovery of the twisted-ladder structure of DNA in 1953 helped light the long fuse on a revolution in medicine, crimefighting, genealogy and ethics, has died. He was 97. The ...

Watson’s role in decoding DNA, the genetic blueprint for life, would have been enough to establish him as one of the most important scientists of the 20th century.

C-G base pairs in the DNA structure require more energy to break these bonds. Therefore, a higher abundance of C-G base pairs in the DNA structure increases the melting temperature. Divalent Cations ...

James Watson, who has died aged 97, was the 25-year-old American biologist who in 1953, with Francis Crick, revealed the double helix structure of DNA, the chemical of which genes are made; for this ...
