Many engineering challenges come down to the same headache—too many knobs to turn and too few chances to test them. Whether tuning a power grid or designing a safer vehicle, each evaluation can be ...

A new computational method allows modern atomic models to learn from experimental thermodynamic data, according to a ...

Cells are incredibly adept at creating complex molecules, like therapeutics, and can do so much better than many of our best factories. Synthetic biologists look to re-engineer cells to make these ...

An interdisciplinary team of researchers at the University of Alabama at Birmingham has developed a new method of surface engineering polymer soft-materials that has potential to accelerate ...

Scientists are pioneering a new method of genetic engineering for basic and applied biological research and medicine. Their work has the potential to open new doors in genomic research by improving ...

“Single-cell omics” is producing exciting biological data. The field measures how active every gene is in every cell of an organism and promises to yield valuable information on how our bodies work.

Bacteriophages have been used therapeutically to treat infectious bacterial diseases for over a century. As antibiotic-resistant infections increasingly threaten public health, interest in ...

Two approaches provide a faster way to create enzymes and analyze their reactions, leading to the design of more complex molecules. Cells are incredibly adept at creating complex molecules, like ...
