Resurrection biology — attempting to bring strings of molecules and more complex organisms back to life — is gaining traction in labs around the world.

As awesome as Nature’s molecular machinery may be, it can’t accomplish many of the tasks routinely carried out by chemists. For example, chemists play with chemical bonds unknown to biology ...

Scientists test tumbling molecules on Earth to figure out their exact signature, called the spectrum, so that they can recognize those fingerprints in telescope data. Rosetta’s comet has the ...

Scientists have set up the microscopic equivalent of the Galapagos Islands -- an artificial ecosystem inside a test tube where molecules evolve to exploit distinct ecological niches, similar to ...

In June 2019, Christopher Lima was named Chair of the Sloan Kettering Institute’s Structural Biology Program.Dr. Lima replaced Nikola Pavletich, who had led the program since its creation in 2003 and ...
