Proteins interacting with cell membranes play a vital role in countless biological processes, from how cells communicate to how they respond to external signals like hormones or medications.

Living cells are bustling with molecular machines that constantly process energy, matter, and information. Among these ...

Simulating these motions on a computer using physics—a technique known as molecular dynamics—can be very expensive, requiring billions of time steps on supercomputers. As a step toward ...

Researchers in chemical physics apply physical methods and theory to study molecular and collective properties of chemical systems. The focus is on understanding complex phenomena from gas phase ...

Molecular Dynamics Simulations are grounded in classical mechanics, particularly Newton’s laws of motion, to predict how particles move within a system. The force acting on each atom is calculated ...

Atomic, Molecular and Optical Physics (commonly referred to AMO Physics) is the study of the interaction between light and matter. Physicists study this interaction on various scales, from the atomic ...

Atomic and molecular physics it the study of the properties, dynamics and interactions of the basic (but not fundamental) building blocks of matter. A crucial component of this is understanding ...

However, their molecular dynamics have remained unclear. Researchers have now used fast-scanning atomic force microscopy (FS-AFM) to visualize α-CD rings moving along a PEG chain. This ...

From left to right, Dr. Manuela Leal da Silva, Ms. Raissa Rosa, and Dr. Rafael C. Bernardi, the collaborative team of researchers from Auburn University and FIOCRUZ who are advancing our understanding ...
