The key idea behind our framework is that life produces molecules with purpose, while nonliving chemistry does not. Cells ...

Quantum effects are no longer confined to ultra-cold chips and vacuum chambers. For the first time, researchers are deliberately engineering living cells so that they behave like quantum bits, hinting ...

For more than a century, fossils meant bones, shells and the occasional imprint of a leaf. Now, a wave of research is showing ...

Scientists have uncovered a previously unknown type of molecular motion inside DNA-based droplets: instead of spreading randomly, guest molecules advance in an organized wave. This surprising ...

If you learned about biology and quantum mechanics in the same course, it was probably in the form of two unrelated chapters in different parts of the syllabus in something like an integrated science ...

The human biology major will provide students with a broad biological understanding of our species, from molecules, genes, and cells to tissues, organ systems and organism/environment interactions.

Many biological processes are regulated by electricity—from nerve impulses to heartbeats to the movement of molecules in and out of cells.

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. Life on other worlds—if it exists—might be so alien as to be unrecognizable. There’s no guarantee that alien biology would use the same ...

Researchers have developed a method for identifying small molecules that bind metal ions. Metal ions are essential in biology. But identifying which molecules—and especially which small ...

This page outlines the 2022-23 degree requirements for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology (Biology Focus). This page is not an official list of degree requirements. Adjustments may be required due to ...
