Molecule ’handedness’ determines the strength of a coupling between nuclear spins

Researchers at EPFL have uncovered a new class of transcription factors that play a crucial role in gene regulation, offering fresh perspectives on how cells maintain their identity and function. Every cell in our body contains the same DNA, yet liver cells are different from brain cells, and skin cells differ from muscle cells.

Using ammonia is regarded as a promising method of transporting hydrogen. However, an efficient process is also needed to convert it back into hydrogen and nitrogen.

Investors' consideration of a firm's environmental performance, along with concerns about future impacts on profit, have led many firms to start trying to reduce their carbon footprint.

Scientists have discovered the first cases of Anopheles funestus mosquitoes genetically mutating to develop a resistance to a type of insecticide called DDT.

A team of scientists has provided insight into the mechanisms at work in geothermal reservoirs located deep underground, known as supercritical reservoirs. Through a combination of computer simulations and lab experiments, they showed that rocks located between five and eight kilometers deep in the Earth's crust are also permeable to fluids. 

Researchers study marks on spearheads creating reference data to understand fighting in past. How can we tell whether and how a prehistoric weapon was used?

A team from the University of Geneva and EPFL has demonstrated how Hsp70 chaperone proteins help proteins move within cells.

Most dog owners didn't know that flea and tick treatments are dangerous to aquatic life, suggesting more awareness could ease the problem.

Australians under 50 are experiencing stagnating life expectancy while older cohorts, especially men, are living longer, according to new research from The Australian National University (ANU).

Damage to the brainstem - the brain's 'control centre' - is behind long-lasting physical and psychiatric effects of severe Covid-19 infection, a study suggests.
