Swapping molecular building blocks one by one reveals how receptors tell adrenaline from dopamine

Different receptors respond to different neurotransmitters or hormones, such as adrenaline involved in the fight-or-flight response, or dopamine linked to reward and motivation. Both the receptors themselves and the substances they recognize are often very similar, but still m...

One graph attempts to connect every object in the universe

If you've ever taken an introductory astronomy class, you've probably seen the Hertzsprung-Russell (HR) diagram. This graph maps out the life cycle of stars by plotting their temperature against their luminosity, and has been a "cheat sheet" for stellar astrophysics for over a...

Why it matters: One graph attempts to connect every object in... opens new research frontiers.
