A look into 'mirror molecules' may lead to new medicines

A University of Texas at Dallas chemist and his colleagues have developed a new chemical reaction that will allow researchers to synthesize selectively the left-handed or right-handed versions of "mirror molecules" found ...

Uncrackable: Scorpions and sponges inspire sustainable design

Humans are by no means alone in the search for more sustainable materials. Nature, too, has been "working" on the problem of sustainability, and it's been at it for a great deal longer. Researchers at the Weizmann Institute ...

Octopus-inspired adhesive works well in wet conditions

In research published in Advanced Science, investigators drew inspiration from the octopus to develop an adhesive that achieves strong attachment and controlled release on varied substrates in wet and underwater environments. ...
