Ferrocene is a key molecule for developing molecular machines. However, it readily decomposes on the surface of flat noble metal substrates, marking a significant challenge. Now researchers have ...

For many people, "protein" is the key element of a food order. However, beyond the preferred choice of meats or plant-based ...

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 ...

Proteins are far more than nutrients we track on a food label. Present in every cell of our bodies, they work like nature's ...

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 ...

The trajectory of a biological particle moving across two distinct regions of space, each with different physical properties that alter how the particle diffuses. As it crosses the boundary, its ...

In molecular shuttles, a ring molecule is threaded onto a linear molecular strand and can move between two portions of the strand, called stations, in response to external stimuli. Chemical stimulus, ...

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 ...

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