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

Cis-trans photoisomerization is a key process for many processes in biology and materials science, but only careful and time-consuming quantum chemistry methods can describe such reaction in detail.

Researchers are using molecular motors as a new tool for medical intervention to target and destroy cancer cells. (Nanowerk News) Imagine tiny machines, smaller than a virus, spinning inside cancer ...

Imagine a microscopic locomotive moving back and forth along a track, propelling itself without any external force. At the molecular level, this concept forms the foundation of molecular motors -- ...

(Nanowerk News) Machines have evolved to meet the demands of daily life and industrial use, with molecular-scale devices often exhibiting improved functionalities and mechanical movements. However, ...

A molecular model shows two macrocycles interlocked like links in a chain, with additional atoms attached on the side of one ring. This conceptual version of the catenane made by Michael Kathan and ...
