The workshops of molecular machinists seem to be growing louder by the year. You can almost hear the imaginary whirring of their nanoscale devices, accompanied by an anvil chorus of tiny but ...

Biology is full of molecular machines, such as motor proteins and ATP synthase, that operate self-sufficiently through cycles of oxidation and reduction. A team of human chemists at the University of ...

Scientists have built DNA-based nanocircuits that reset with heat, enabling reusable molecular systems for tasks like cargo sorting and pattern recognition. (Nanowerk News) Though it might seem like ...

Molecular switches are nanoscale devices that can reversibly change their state or conformation in response to external stimuli. These switches are typically individual molecules or molecular ...

Professor Jiawen Chen and Associate Researcher Yan Wang from South China Normal University, in collaboration with Professor Ben L. Feringa's team at the University of Groningen, Netherlands, designed ...
