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 ...

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

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 ...

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

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 ...

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 ...
