Materials known as metal-organic frameworks hold promise for advances in healthcare, energy and other areas, researchers say.

An experiment tests whether the gene-editing technology can stop the virus from replicating, which would ultimately wipe out the infection.

Carolyn R. Bertozzi, Morten Meldal and K. Barry Sharpless were honored for their advances in “click chemistry,” which has played a role in treating and diagnosing illnesses.

CRISPR is changing the world—but it can do more.

This common knee injury typically requires reconstruction surgery, but a new type of treatment that harnesses biologics is changing that.
