Biology is full of molecular machines, such as motor proteins and ATP synthase, that operate self-sufficiently through cycles of oxidation and reduction. A team of human chemists at the University of ...

Ferrocene is a key molecule for developing molecular machines. However, it readily decomposes on the surface of flat noble metal substrates, marking a significant challenge. Now researchers have ...

Tiny machines built from individual molecules are moving from science fiction into working hardware, promising to reshape medicine, manufacturing, and even computing. Instead of gears and pistons, ...

Yale scientists have discovered a family of immune proteins, which they describe as a “massive molecular machine,” that could affect the way our bodies fight infection. Our immune system mobilizes ...

Though it might seem like science fiction, scientists are working to build nanoscale molecular machines that can be designed for myriad applications, such as "smart" medicines and materials. But like ...

Scientists have built DNA-based nanocircuits that reset with heat, enabling reusable molecular systems for tasks like cargo sorting and pattern recognition. (Nanowerk News) Though it might seem like ...

For Lucas Farnung, there is no question more fascinating than how a single fertilized egg develops into a fully-functioning human. As a structural biologist, he is studying this process on the ...
