Simplicity is crucial to design optimization at nanoscale

MIT researchers who study the structure of protein-based materials with the aim of learning the key to their lightweight and robust strength have discovered that the particular arrangement of proteins that produces the sturdiest ...

SLAC X-ray laser used to probe biomolecules to individual atoms

An international team led by SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory has proved how the world's most powerful X-ray laser can assist in cracking the structures of biomolecules, and in the processes helped to pioneer critical ...

Novel method to construct all-graphene macrostructures

Researchers from Hefei Institutes of Physical Science (HFIPS), Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), have proposed a laser-assisted layer-by-layer covalent growth method to prepare highly crystalline all-graphene macrostructures ...

Looking for hidden states of the COVID-19 spike protein

The virus wreaking havoc on our lives is an efficient infection machine. Comprised of only 29 proteins (compared to our 400,000), with a genome 1/200,000 the size of ours, SARS-CoV-2 is expertly evolved to trick our cells ...
