Ozempic has been making headlines for its remarkable success in treating obesity and diabetes. Yet it is just one in a ...

Scientists have been successfully reading the genome for the last 15 to 20 years, but two new papers provide the first hints that it may someday be possible to write genetic code as cheaply, ...

In this video segment, adapted from NOVA, reenactment footage portrays how chemist Percy Julian used careful observation, insight, and determination to search for a process for synthesizing the ...

For the past 15 years, synthetic biologists have been figuring out how to synthesize an organism's complete set of DNA, including all of its genes. They've tackled the genomes of microbes, but now one ...

Yale researchers have slashed the number of steps needed to synthesize two natural anticancer products, using a novel approach to computational analysis in organic chemistry. The new strategy offers ...

This video segment, adapted from NOVA uses reenactment footage to show how chemist Percy Julian completed the total synthesis of physostigmine, an alkaloid derived from the Calabar bean that could be ...
