Federal officials said in court documents that they halted billions of dollars in funding for energy projects to states “based solely” on whether they backed President Trump in the 2024 election.

The new rule, which also restricts the international students’ ability to transfer schools or change majors without approval in their first year, will go into effect in mid-September.

The interaction of ions or small molecules with proteins causes convective flows due to the displacement of water from the hydration shell. As shown, the replacement of the nickel ion removed from ur...

Understanding chemotaxis at the molecular level is challenging, as individual enzyme molecules cannot sense chemical gradients across their nanometer-sized bodies. Typical theoretical models encompass...

The controversial process of enhanced enzyme diffusion could enable living systems to resist local equilibrium

Recent experimental evidence has shown that enzymes that catalyze exergonic reactions are able to diffuse faster during catalysis, a process called “enhanced diffusion”. If true, enzyme propulsion cou...

The days of strongly worded letters, statements to the press, white papers, and op-eds are over. The people dismantling science are coming at all we care about with a pliers and a blowtorch. If I have...
