The crystal structure of a polypeptide chain fragment from the surface layer protein tetrabrachion from Staphylothermus marinus has been determined at 1.8 Å resolution. As proposed on the basis of the ...

A magnetic crystal that was thought to behave like a quantum system, CeMgAl11O19, revealed something even stranger: a new ...

Structural biology is shifting from predicting protein shapes to uncovering broader organizational rules; AI tools like AlphaFold have made large-scale protein structure data far ...

Most materials, especially metals and ceramics, are crystals. Their atoms are arranged in three-dimensional lattices that repeat the same exact pattern, over and over again. But there's a well-known ...

We report the crystal structure of a class D β-lactamase, the broad spectrum enzyme OXA-10 from Pseudomonas aeruginosa at 2.0 Å resolution. There are significant differences between the overall fold ...

A team of physicists has computationally constructed a two-dimensional material that behaves like a paradox: it is disordered ...

Scientists have created the first computer model of an “ideal glass,” a theoretical material ...

Successful group work in middle and high school requires thoughtful design. These strategies help teachers structure collaboration so every student contributes—and learns.

Lithium was supposed to be soft. The metal bends easily in bulk form, stretches before it breaks, and deforms the way you ...

Superconductors are among the most puzzling materials in physics. They conduct electricity with zero resistance, but only ...

Researchers developed a method that gradually adds and removes atoms in simulations, enabling realistic modeling of crystal defects that affect material strength.

A deep dive into the iconic late-night block that shaped the tastes of a bleary-eyed, post-ironic generation of comedy fans.
