Chemical biologists frequently aim to create small-molecule probes that interact with a specific protein in vitro in order to explore the role of the protein in a broader biological context (cells or organisms), but a common understanding of what makes a ...

The oft-forgotten Ford Probe was supposed to be a design and engineering marvel that would replace the aging 1980s Mustang. Instead, it was killed off unceremoniously after an eight-year production run. The idea for the Probe took root in the mid-'80s when ...

According to NASA, its current speed is 153,545 mph (or 68.6 kilometers per second). But really, that just means super fast. It's nearly impossible to imagine something that fast when the fastest man-made stuff on Earth is perhaps a rail gun projectile at ...

A NASA solar probe flew "gracefully" through a powerful eruption from the sun, helping scientists prove a decades-old theory, the agency announced this week. The fortified spacecraft not only survived the journey but it also captured video of the rare event.

Imagine working on a project you know you have no hope of seeing through to completion. Would you have the motivation to even get it going? Absolutely, says Ralph McNutt from Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory (JHU-APL) in the US.

Ford's first big hit was the Model T, thanks in large part to the four-stroke, four-cylinder engine that powered it. In the century-plus since that industry icon went out of production, Ford has also brought us the long-lived Mustang, the absolutely ...
