Tiny machines built from individual molecules are moving from science fiction into working hardware, promising to reshape ...

The molecule-sized devices activated the same calcium-based cellular signaling mechanism in a live organism, causing whole-body contraction in a fresh-water polyp, or Hydra vulgaris. "This is the ...

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 ...

Fungi are present on the skin of around 70 percent of the population without causing harm or benefit. Some fungal infections, like athlete’s foot, are minor. Others, like Candida albicans, can be ...

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 ...

Molecular machines, a chromatin remodeler (pink and green on left) and RNA polymerase II (grey, yellow, and blue in center), work together to read genomic information stored on tightly packed DNA ...
