Proteins are the building blocks of life. These biomolecules comprise chains of amino acids that fold into precise shapes to ...

New research suggests that essential components of life may assemble in interstellar space long before planets or oceans exist.

"We used to think that only very simple molecules could be created in these clouds. But we have shown that this is clearly ...

Mechanical engineers at Duke University have developed solid building blocks whose mechanical properties can ...

Challenging long-held assumptions, Aarhus University researchers have demonstrated that the protein building blocks essential for life as we know it can form readily in space. This discovery, ...

Building blocks have been around for years, and are a childhood staple for many. These simple toys can keep your child entertained for hours and have many other benefits as well. For example, playing ...
