Inspiring the Future: Female Chemists and Physicists Honor Leaders in the Field with Research Dedications

MELVILLE, N.Y., October 8, 2021 — Marie Curie. Rosalind Franklin. Alice Ball. Marie Maynard Daly. Chien-Shiung Wu. These women helped change the world through their knowledge, expertise, […]

Ice-Binding Molecules Stop Ice Growth, Act as Natural Antifreeze

WASHINGTON, November 3, 2020 — Certain molecules bind tightly to the surface of ice, creating a curved interface that can halt further ice growth. Some insects, plants, […]

Computational Study Reveals How Ebola Nucleocapsid Stabilizes

WASHINGTON, October 20, 2020 — The Ebola virus causes a serious infection with a mortality rate between 50% and 90%. Nucleoproteins in the virus assemble into a […]

Progress Toward Antiviral Treatments for COVID-19

WASHINGTON, September 15, 2020 — COVID-19 is caused by a virus known as SARS-CoV-2, which is similar in structure to two other viruses that have caused recent […]

New Mathematical Model for Amyloid Formation

WASHINGTON, January 28, 2020 — Amyloids are aggregates consisting of stacks of thousands of proteins bound tightly together. Their formation is involved in several widespread disorders, including […]

Using Lasers to Visualize Molecular Mysteries in Our Atmosphere

WASHINGTON, D.C., August 6, 2019 — Invisible to the human eye, molecular interactions between gases and liquids underpin much of our lives, including the absorption of oxygen […]

Insects in Freezing Regions Have a Protein that Acts Like Antifreeze

WASHINGTON, D.C., April 2, 2019 — The power to align water molecules is usually held by ice, which affects nearby water and encourages it to join the […]

A New Model of Ice Friction Helps Scientists Understand How Glaciers Flow

WASHINGTON, D.C., December 18, 2018 — Since the early 20th century, nearly all of Earth’s glaciers have been retreating or melting. Glaciers cover 10 percent of the […]

Advancing the Description Of ‘Mysterious’ Water To Improve Drug Design

WASHINGTON, D.C., December 17, 2018 — Interactions with water dominate how drug molecules bind to targets, but it’s tricky to model these interactions, limiting the accuracy of […]
