An international team of scientists has unveiled the most comprehensive model yet that explains how cells control the flow of ...

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 ...

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 ...

Inside living cells, molecules are constantly on the move—binding, diffusing, interacting. An international competition, the 2nd AnDi Challenge, has now delivered a systematic comparison of analytical ...

A light-sensitive polymer changes how it conducts heat and lithium ions by switching molecular order, revealing a path toward ...

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 ...

Combining equilibrium and non-equilibrium approaches separates fluid into near-wall and bulk fluid regions, showing that all ...

Visible light is a clean and abundant energy source for molecular motors,” says Lili Hou of Tianjin University, a ...

The interactions in photovoltaic materials that convert light into electricity happens in femtoseconds. How fast is that? One femtosecond is a quadrillionth of a second­­. To put that in perspective, ...

Fraser Stoddart, an organic chemist who shared a Nobel Prize for helping explore the potential of infinitesimal “molecular machines” that could one day revolutionize fields such as medicine and ...
