Guest molecules slice through droplets of DNA polymers in the form of a frontal wave / Basis for a better understanding of biological processes. (Nanowerk News) Researchers at Johannes Gutenberg ...

A team of researchers used a new technique, called high-resolution template matching, or HRTM, to uncover in unprecedented detail the movement of ribosomes -- the molecular structures that synthesize ...

Trying to untangle a knot in a mess of strings can be frustrating and time-consuming. But not so for molecular ...

A single drug can take more than a decade and an estimated $2.6 billion to bring to market, and much of that time is spent ...

Scientists have uncovered a previously unknown type of molecular motion inside DNA-based droplets: instead of spreading randomly, guest molecules advance in an organized wave. This surprising ...

(Nanowerk News) Artificial molecular machines, nanoscale machines consisting of a few molecules, offer the potential to transform fields involving catalysts, molecular electronics, medicines, and ...

For many people, "protein" is the key element of a food order. However, beyond the preferred choice of meats or plant-based alternatives, proteins encompass a large class of complex biomolecules whose ...

Molecular rotors are dynamic chemical systems that exhibit controlled internal rotation, forming the basis for a myriad of applications in nanoscale devices and molecular machinery. Their ...

Electron spin can create differences between mirror-image molecules, a potential explanation for why life favors one ...

Most of us find it difficult to grasp the quantum world. According to Heisenberg's uncertainty principle, it's like observing a dance without being able to see simultaneously exactly where someone is ...

At one time or another, most of us have played with a flipbook, using our thumbs to rapidly flip a series of pictures to create an illusion of movement. Scientists use a similar technique to study the ...
