Every living thing on Earth depends on water, but why is that? Department of Chemistry Assistant Professor Nicholas Borotto studies biochemistry, and explains why water is an important molecule for ...

Water behaves in remarkable ways when heated and pressurized beyond its critical point. Under these extreme conditions, known as supercritical water, it no longer acts like an ordinary liquid. Instead ...

Researchers at the Nano Life Science Institute (WPI-NanoLSI), Kanazawa University, report in the Journal of the American Chemical Society the use of three-dimensional atomic force microscopy (AFM) and ...

A research team reveals that the structure of organic molecules, particularly aromatic hydrocarbons, plays a decisive role in regulating how ...

Researchers captured and comparted hi-res images of ribosome structures from sensitive and resistant bacteria and report that a water molecule needed for antibiotic binding was not present in the ...
