Attaching amino acids to a hydrophobic organic molecule allows them to self-assemble into rare, knotted structures with ...

Every crystal’s shape is a mirror of the internal arrangement of their molecules, but the molecules in photoswitchable ...

An international team of scientists has determined the structure of the chlorophyll molecules in green bacteria that are responsible for harvesting light energy. The team's results one day could be ...

Researchers have developed nanoscale display cases that enables new atomic-scale views of hard-to-study chemical and biological samples. Researchers at the Department of Energy's Lawrence Berkeley ...

Organic chemistry is packed with rules about structure and reactivity, especially when it comes to making and breaking ...

Electrical circuits are constantly being scaled down and extended with specific functions. A new method now allows electrical contact to be established with simple molecules on a conventional silicon ...

Highly reactive complex molecules finding some sort of stability was a necessary step towards life getting started on Earth. Scientists think they've just discovered how these first began to stay ...
