Scientists in Japan have uncovered a surprising twist, literally, in how molecules organize themselves. By introducing tiny leftover fragments from previous assemblies, they discovered a way to flip ...

In a striking demonstration of molecular control, a team of scientists has harnessed light to reverse the twist in self-assembling molecules. The study identifies how trace residual aggregates in ...

A 2D mechanically interlocked polymer mimicking chainmail shows high flexibility and stiffness, offering promise for ...

Researchers at Westlake University have disclosed a two-dimensional (2D) mechanically interlocked polymer (MIP) that mimics ...

Fifty years since its discovery, scientists have finally worked out how a molecular machine found in mitochondria allows us ...

DNA strand displacement circuits are inching closer to becoming cellular machines. Scientists are finding ways to make these programmable nanodevices stable and functional inside living cells. If ...

Layered drug nanoparticles can now be produced efficiently and at scale using a microfluidic method that eliminates ...

According to a study funded by the American Chemical Society ES&T Engineering, researchers funded by the National Science Foundation have developed a molecular nanocage that captures the majority of ...

Molecular evolution is the area of evolutionary ... Spliceosomal snRNP core assembly typically requires chaperones such as the SMN complex. Here, the authors reveal two pathways in budding yeast ...

In this session, audience volunteers will become workers in an assembly line that produces writing pens. In a series of short production rounds, they will make systematic improvement that dramatically ...

PREVIEW is an eight-issue subscription publication that provides expert, plain-language analysis of all cases given plenary review by the Supreme Court in advance of oral argument. Preview issues 1-7 ...
