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 ...

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 ...

Excited state dynamics are essential for understanding fluorescence properties in molecules, impacting their application in ...

OUR ideas and knowledge of the shapes of polyatomic molecules are largely confined to the ground electronic states. Comparatively little progress has been made in knowledge of the symmetries of ...

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

the water molecules stay together keeping the shape of the balloon. The circles in this drawing represent water molecules. They are not in any exact order but are near each other because of their ...

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. In the water molecule, the oxygen and hydrogen ...

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

According to scientists from the European Molecular Biology Laboratory, sea anemones can restore their shape following a ...

This is due to the shape of the molecule. Water molecules are polar molecules. Both of the bonds inside the molecule are polar bonds. Due to the non-symmetrical shape of the molecule (bent), the ...

When molecules interact with ultraviolet (UV) light, they can change shape quickly, producing strain—stress in a molecule's chemical structure due to an increase in the molecule's internal energy.
