Crystalline polymers assembled inside tumor cell lysosomes rupture membranes, release iron, and trigger immune-activating ...

Osmotic energy, often called blue energy, is a promising way to generate sustainable electricity from the natural mixing of salt and fresh water. It exploits the voltage that arises when ions from ...

A new approach to blue energy tackles one of the field’s most persistent problems: how to move ions quickly without ...

Nanostructured materials are key to food safety, offering antimicrobial properties and smart packaging solutions that extend ...

Compared to previous theories, the current research emphasizes the complexity of the biological and chemical processes that brought about life.

Forget everything you thought about life's origins. Scientists now say it all began not in a cell, but in a glob of protective primordial slime.

Minor changes in moisture level can promote lipid molecules to reorganize themselves in biomaterial or biomembranes. This can ...

New research shows that lipid nanoparticles used in mRNA vaccines may deliver RNA more effectively when their structure is disorganised.

Highly organized LNPs may resist releasing their cargo due to interactions between the positively-charged lipids and negatively-charged RNA.

Not all fiber works the same. Discover how viscosity, fermentation, and microbiome diversity determine whether dietary fiber ...
