Scientists used AI to discover BRP, a natural molecule that helps mice lose weight without the nausea plaguing current obesity drugs. Human trials could start soon for this promising alternative.
Researchers discovered a 13-atom molecule containing sulfur in interstellar space, filling a critical gap in our understanding of how life's building blocks formed in the cosmos. The finding suggests many more complex molecules essential to life may be waiting to be found among the stars.
NASA's Curiosity rover discovered the longest organic molecules ever found on Mars, and scientists say they can't explain them without considering the possibility of ancient life. The fatty acid fragments found in ancient mudstone are the kind of molecules living things create.
NASA's Curiosity rover just discovered the most diverse collection of organic molecules ever found on Mars, including seven never seen before on the Red Planet. Among them are chemical building blocks that could be precursors to DNA and RNA.
NASA's Curiosity rover discovered 21 different organic molecules on Mars, including seven never seen before on the Red Planet. The find brings scientists closer to understanding whether ancient Mars could have supported life.
Scientists studying how pythons survive on one massive meal per year discovered a natural molecule that helped obese mice lose 9% of their body weight. The finding could one day lead to new obesity treatments inspired by nature's most extreme eaters.
NASA's Curiosity rover discovered the richest collection of organic molecules ever detected on Mars, including chemicals similar to those that build DNA on Earth. The 3.5-billion-year-old compounds prove the red planet can preserve delicate chemistry for billions of years.
NASA's Curiosity rover discovered nitrogen-containing molecules similar to DNA building blocks in Martian rock that's been preserving organic matter for 3.5 billion years. It's the strongest hint yet that the Red Planet once had conditions friendly to life.
NASA's Curiosity rover discovered the most diverse set of organic molecules ever found on Mars, including seven never seen before on the planet. The finding shows that complex carbon chemistry can survive billions of years in Mars' harsh environment.
Scientists discovered a hidden galaxy nucleus churning out complex organic molecules at rates far beyond what models predicted. The finding reveals cosmic rays are transforming carbon-rich materials into building blocks that could lead to life's essential chemistry.
The James Webb Space Telescope captured stunning new images of a planetary nebula 10,000 light-years away, revealing mysterious structures and billions of carbon molecules shaped like soccer balls. These "buckyballs" are helping scientists understand how dying stars fuel the chemistry of our universe.
Scientists discovered a molecule from python blood that helps obese mice lose 9% of their weight in 28 days, without the stomach problems linked to current obesity drugs. The breakthrough could lead to a new generation of weight-loss treatments inspired by how pythons digest massive meals.
NASA's Curiosity rover discovered diverse organic molecules on Mars that have been preserved for 3.5 billion years, offering the strongest evidence yet that the Red Planet could have once supported life. While not definitive proof, the finding marks a major breakthrough in humanity's search for ancient life beyond Earth.
Researchers at the University of Göttingen have captured the first complete 3D image of a molecule's wavefunction, the mysterious quantum blueprint that determines how molecules behave. This breakthrough could soon let scientists watch chemical reactions unfold in real time at the atomic level.
NASA's Curiosity rover discovered seven never-before-seen organic molecules in a Martian rock, bringing the strongest evidence yet that ancient Mars had the chemistry needed for life. One molecule found contains the building blocks similar to DNA and RNA.
Scientists using the James Webb Space Telescope discovered stunning new details about buckyballs, soccer ball-shaped molecules floating 10,000 light-years away. The cosmic molecules are arranged in a giant sphere, mimicking their own shape at an astronomical scale.
Scientists have found a naturally occurring molecule that works like Ozempic but without the nausea, constipation, or muscle loss. The breakthrough came from an AI tool that scanned thousands of potential peptides hiding in human genes.
A tiny molecule discovered using AI mimics Ozempic's weight loss effects without the nausea, constipation, or muscle loss. Animal studies show the peptide targets only the brain's appetite center, not the entire digestive system.
Researchers at UC Santa Barbara created molecules that capture sunlight and store it for years, releasing heat on demand without needing traditional batteries. The breakthrough could transform how we heat homes and water using solar energy.
Chemists just broke a decades-old barrier that prevented them from making certain useful molecules. By releasing electrons directly into solution, they've unlocked reactions that could lead to new life-saving drugs and advanced materials.
