Exploiting an ingenious combination of photochemical (i.e., light-induced) reactions and self-assembly processes, a team led ...

wherein the base pairs that comprise DNA molecules are manipulated to build tiny structures in different shapes that can be ...

Water molecules are so attracted to each other that even after the balloon pops, the water molecules stay together keeping the shape of the balloon. The circles in this drawing represent water ...

The interlocking components are cyclodextrins, hollow water-soluble molecules with a truncated cone shape, and azobenzene ...

Scientists in the UK have investigated the phenomenon of shape-selectivity in shape-shifting molecules – molecules that adopt different configurations depending on their environment. Most synthetic ...

Advances in nanotechnology are often inspired by designs found in nature. Tiny molecules that can change their shape in response to stimuli and swim through the body, mimicking bacteria ...

According to the new paper, researchers fear that mirror bacteria could be able to evade natural predators like phage viruses ...

The folded shape, or conformation, depends directly on the linear amino acid sequence of the protein. The building blocks of proteins are amino acids, which are small organic molecules that ...

Excited state dynamics are essential for understanding fluorescence properties in molecules, impacting their application in technologies. Recent research explores how molecular structure and geometry ...

Experts sounded an alarm about the potentially lethal risks of creating mirror bacteria, synthetic organisms in which the ...
