Hollow, pumpkin-shaped molecules can efficiently separate valuable hydrocarbons from crude oil, KAUST researchers have shown.

Properties of 3D shapes worksheet This worksheet delves deeper into the geometry of 3D shapes by asking pupils to label shapes and record their properties – the number of faces, vertices and edges.

Cell membranes from comb jellies reveal a new kind of adaptation to the deep sea: curvy lipids that conform to an ideal shape under pressure. Why does a comb jelly adapted to life at high pressure ...

The shape of molecules to come: A Q&A on designing DNA nanostructures for biomedical applications by Erin Frick, University at Albany Editors' notes ...

AlphaFold 3 models all life's molecules—proteins, DNA, RNA, and small molecules—and their interactions. The work could speed up science and drug discovery.

Scientists from the University of Edinburgh’s School of Chemistry have revealed a new sustainable method of manufacturing complex molecules that could reduce waste produced during drug production. The ...

Small RNA molecules have big effects on plant shape, according to a report published in the online edition of the journal Nature (Advance Online Publication, August 20, 2003). These findings were the ...

Researchers at Durham and York universities have discovered that carbon-based molecules can be dynamic, overturning the long-held belief that their chiral forms are rigid. Scientists have demonstrated ...

The study showed how different shapes of chiral molecules can be created, which is key information because the utility of chiral molecular assemblies in drug delivery and nanoelectronics is coupled to ...

The simulated spectra (the band shapes, to be more specific) generated by TDDFT study and outcomes through natural transition orbital (NTO) and natural bond orbital (NBO) studies clearly demonstrate ...
