Scientists at EPFL and AstraZeneca have developed a method to map the atomic-level structure of amorphous drugs, demonstrated on a GLP-1 receptor agonist candidate for diabetes and obesity treatment.

Different atoms and ions possess characteristic energy levels. Like a fingerprint, they are unique for each species. Among ...

Crystallography is the science of analyzing the pattern produced by shining an X-ray beam through a material sample. A powder sample produces a different pattern than solid crystal. One longstanding ...

When nucleic acids like DNA or RNA build up in a cell's cytoplasm, it sets off an alarm call for the immune system. Enzymes usually clear these nucleic acids before they cause an issue, but when these ...

Light-emitting semiconductors are used throughout everyday life in TVs, smartphones, and lighting. However, many technical ...

Atomic level surface control raised light emission in indium phosphide magic sized clusters from under 1% to 18.1%, ...

KAIST researchers achieve 18.1% light-emission efficiency in indium phosphide magic-sized clusters through innovative ...

Controlling the transport properties through a zeolite and the rates of diffusion and size of molecules that can be stored or transported are key in developing and optimizing zeolites for various ...

One longstanding problem has sidelined life-saving drugs, stalled next-generation batteries, and kept archaeologists from identifying the origins of ancient artifacts. For more than 100 years, ...
