Solving Protein Structures from Tiny Crystals with a New Approach

The technique indeed opens the door to dealing with microcrystals that have been previously inaccessible such as difficult-to-crystallize cell-surface receptors and other membrane proteins, flexible proteins, and many complex human proteins

10 Famous Scientists Who Believe That God Exists

Copernicus was a famous astronomer who lived and worked in Poland. He was the first scientist to propose the first-ever system based on mathematics that planets revolve around the sun. After studying at several universities in Europe, he was made a Canon of the Roman Catholic Church, in the year of 1497.

Safer and Purer Medicinal Drugs: A Possibility Through A New Method

Scientists develop a faster way of producing safer medicinal drugs Hong Kong Baptist University (HKBU) scientists have created a novel method that could potentially produce pure, no side-effect, higher quality medicinal drugs with a faster drug discovery process.

Sewers Could Help Clean Our Atmosphere

Researchers have concluded that sewer plants serving municipalities worldwide offer a major option for capturing carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases. Although cautioning that research and development is needed before the systems could be deployed, the team identified several potentially viable paths to using sewage as a carbon sink — that is, sewer plants could clean the atmosphere as they clean water.
