Carbon is often referred to as "the bedrock of life" because the element appears in all known life forms. This is because the sixth entry on the periodic table has the unique ability to form the ...

Among the many mushrooms studied, Hericium erinaceus —better known as Lion’s Mane—stands out as a frontrunner in the quest to enhance brain health naturally. This white, shaggy mushroom contains two ...

A potpourri of 1,800 chemical compounds were found to have formed or have the potential to form and be emitted as vapors from 177 underground storage tanks holding radioactive and chemical waste at ...

Deep within giant planets, helium may form stable compounds with other elements, a new study finds — something that was long thought never to happen in nature. Helium is second only to hydrogen as the ...

Researchers have discovered a molecular-level interaction that science had puzzled over for decades but had never seen. That discovery, it turns out, may redefine how science views chemical compound ...

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. – Researchers have been struggling for years to find a treatment for patients who have a recurrence of acute myeloid leukemia (AML), an aggressive blood cancer that is one of the ...
