UC Riverside scientists built a molecular silicon switch that controls electricity using quantum interference instead of ...

General Motors’ homemade version of the low-cost power option favored by China’s auto industry will hit three years before ...

Molecular vibrations, when paired with near-infrared (NIR) light, have opened a new chapter in cancer treatment. Instead of ...

Researchers have uncovered how to manipulate electrical flow through crystalline silicon, a discovery that could lead to ...

Researchers have found a new way to optimise the design molecular motors, bringing us one step closer to making synthetic molecular machines a reality ...

What’s the difference between synthetic and conventional motor oil? There are many advantages of synthetic motor oils, and in this video we’ll be focusing on four key areas. First, we’ll talk about ...

Regarding molecular machines, prominent unresolved questions include whether molecular rotors, switches and motors are machines by themselves or if they should first be required to perform a ‘task’ ...

Scientists from Delft, Vienna, and Lausanne discovered that the protein machines that shape our DNA can switch direction.

One promising area where molecular switches are being explored is in the development of targeted cancer therapies. Researchers are developing drug molecules with molecular switches that become ...

The first molecular motor created by Ben Feringa was described 25 years ago (on 9-9-1999) in the journal Nature. It brought Feringa a 1/3 share in the 2016 Nobel Prize in Chemistry.

His group created rotating molecular motors by mimicking DNA's spiral structure, and controlled their speed using light-based molecular switches inspired by the human eye.
