Light microscopes have revolutionized our understanding of the microcosmos, but their resolution is limited to about 100 nanometers. To see how molecules bond, break, or change their structure, we ...

When light hits certain molecules, it dislodges electrons that then move from one location to another, creating areas of positive and negative charge. This 'charge transfer' is highly important in ...

Our bodies comprise different tissues and organs, which are composed of many cells that must adhere to form functional higher order structures. This adherence is facilitated by specialized proteins ...

MUNICH, Germany — Scientists at IBMs Zurich laboratory have succeeded to visualize the structure of an individual molecule using non-contact atomic force microscopy (AFM). The move is a further step ...

Zooming in: Google’s Sycamore processor. (Courtesy: Erik Lucero/Google) Simulating chemical processes is one of the most promising applications of quantum computers, but problems with noise have ...

The story of a cancer-fighting molecule that took half a century to build is really a story about how slow, stubborn ...

Nearly 30 years ago, scientists discovered a unique class of anticancer molecules in a family of bryozoans, a phylum of marine invertebrates found in tropical waters. The chemical structures of these ...

A group of researchers has verified the existence of a single-molecule electret, a device that could serve as a non-volatile memory unit and lead to the development of smaller computer storage devices ...

Diabetes and obesity can be managed with a slate of blockbuster products, many of them comprised of proteins and peptides—large molecules that must be administered as injections. Structure ...

Structure Therapeutics’ lead drug candidate is chasing big pharmaceutical rivals in the race for new oral weight-loss medications, and the company had been telling investors to expect data late this ...
