The eyes are already said to be the windows to the soul; now researchers are working to make them the windows to the bodys health as well. Jin Zhang, a professor of chemical and biochemical engineering at the University of Western Ontario, has developed c

A University of Michigan biophysical chemist and his colleagues have discovered the smallest and fastest-known molecular switches made of RNA, the chemical cousin of DNA. The researchers say these rare, fleeting structures are prime targets for the develo

Researchers at Penn State University have developed a chemical model that mimics a possible step in the formation of cellular life on Earth four-billion years ago. Using large "macromolecules" called polymers, the scientists created primitive cell-like st
