Har Gobind Khorana was an Indian American biochemist who shared the 1968 Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine with Marshall W. Nirenberg and Robert W. Holley for research that showed how the order of nucleotides in nucleic acids, which carry the genetic code of the cell, control the cell's synthesis of proteins. Dr Khorana and Dr Nirenberg were ...

A team of researchers has developed a new sensor that can detect low levels of female hormone estrogen in liquids.
