A "window to evolution" has opened after mathematicians uncovered the universal explanatory framework for how molecules interact with one another to adapt to new and variable conditions while maintaining tight control over ...
2D materials get their strength from their atom-thin, sheet like structure. However, stacking multiple layers of a 2D material will sap it of the qualities that make it so useful.
Molecular models are a tried-and-tested tool for teaching chemistry to students of all ages. By enabling users to visualize the three-dimensional structure of a molecule and how its atoms are arranged, they can accelerate ...
Non-fused-ring organic photoactive materials have attracted broad attention in recent years due to their low synthetic cost. Different from the rigid coplanar structure of fused-ring molecules, the easily rotated conformation ...
As picturesque as winter weather can be, snowy scenes often present a less desirable, slippery companion: ice. It coats our roadways, clings to windshields and serves as a general hurdle in daily life during the coldest months ...
Researchers at Kanazawa University report in Nano Letters how high-speed atomic force microscopy can be used to assess the effectivity of spike-neutralizing antibodies for preventing COVID-19. The use of such antibodies offers ...
In an unprecedented feat, researchers from Japan have developed an organic, air-stable, highly conducting neutral molecular crystal with unique electronic properties.
Could washing our clothes with detergent become a thing of the past? Even though the research is in its early stages, an investigation as to whether washing or cleaning can be done with purified water instead of detergent ...
Catalysts boost many types of chemical reactions, from our bodies to the industrial production of compounds and controlled fuel combustion in a car. From solid to gaseous, no matter their formula, their role is to enhance ...
Coal tar, once considered waste, has become a huge treasure trove because hundreds of compounds can be isolated from it. Most of these compounds tend to be aromatic hydrocarbons, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, and heterocyclic ...
