In a study published in Nature Structural and Molecular Biology, scientists from the Department of Medical Biochemistry and ...

Unfortunately, there isn't an enzyme for many reactions we would sorely like to catalyze—things like digesting plastics or ...

Standing at the intersection between mathematics and the tiler's trade is the so-called einstein problem. Despite its name, ...

Researchers have revealed novel sequence-structure-property relationships for customizing engineered living materials (ELMs), enabling more precise control over their structure and how they respond to ...

The setae are bendy and ultra-flexible, allowing them to follow and stick to the contours of the surface they are on — no ...

Essentially, the tufts of tiny hairs on gecko feet get so close to the contours in walls and ceilings that electrons from the ...

Traditional anti-slip materials, such as natural rubber, repel water. But on ice, this approach can backfire. The pressure ...

Because of its seeming unbreakablility, food doesn’t stick to Teflon-coated frying pans and water ... it could linger in the environment for thousands of years. And when these molecules linger in a ...

The electronic structure of atoms and molecules is the series of energy levels that it are possible for a bound electron to occupy. This electronic structure determines many of the defining ...

The ability to form long chains, branched structures, and cyclic compounds allows carbon to construct a variety of molecules with different shapes and sizes, and crystalline and amorphous solids with ...

Molecules haven't been used in quantum computing, even though they have the potential to make the ultra-high-speed experimental technology even faster. Their rich internal structures were seen as ...
