With a big assist from artificial intelligence and a heavy dose of human touch, a lab made a discovery that dramatically speeds up the time-consuming chemical process of building molecules that will be tomorrow’s medicines, agrichemicals or materials.

Malfunction of cellular condensates is a disease mechanism relevant for congenital malformations, common diseases, and cancer, new research suggests.

Some defects can be good. A new study shows that laser-induced defects in lithium-ion battery materials improve the performance of the battery.

Common approaches to analyze DNA from a community of microbes, called a microbiome, can yield erroneous results, in large part due to the incomplete databases used to identify microbial DNA sequences, according to a new study.

The risk factors linked to cognitive decline in older adults explain a surprisingly modest amount about the large variation in mental abilities between older people, according to a new national study.
