Opening new doors for the development of nanotechnologies in medicine and other fields, scientists recreate and compare two natural mechanisms to better program the timescale of molecular ...

If the origins of life are to be recapitulated, any number of natural cellular innovations will have to be reenacted in the artificial cells built by scientists. One of these innovations, an enzyme ...

Researchers at the Biozentrum of the University of Basel have discovered a "clockwork" mechanism that controls cell division in bacteria. In two publications, in "Nature Communications" und "PNAS", ...

(Nanowerk News) Living organisms monitor time – and react to it – in many different ways, from detecting light and sound in microseconds to responding physiologically in pre-programmed ways, via their ...
