While NASA rovers on the surface of Mars look for hints of life, researchers back on Earth are studying ‘echoes of life’ from ancient basins – hoping that the two sites might be similar.

A compound originally developed to treat cancer could be repurposed to treat polycystic kidney disease, an inherited condition that can lead to kidney failure.

MIT chemists developed a battery cathode based on organic materials, which could reduce the EV industry’s reliance on scarce metals.

With the fourth significant shortage of helium in a decade continuing, companies and researchers are looking for alternative sources.

New insights into how proton-coupled electron transfers occur at an electrode could help researchers design more efficient fuel cells and electrolyzers.

Using fingerprints to catch criminals isn’t 100% accurate, but analyzing fingerprints in 3D, rather than 2D, could improve the process.

Researchers have developed a platform that combines automated experiments with AI to predict how chemicals will react with one another, which could accelerate

Probiotics are great for your gut, but which sources contain the most beneficial bacteria? Newly developed sensors are helping scientists figure it out.

Using generative AI, MIT chemists created a model that can predict the structures formed when a chemical reaction reaches its point of no return.

Using machine learning, the computational method can provide details of how materials work as catalysts, semiconductors, or battery components.
