Recent research published in Communications Biology marks an advance in structural biology by enhancing understanding of ...

In a discovery recently published in Nature, MIT chemists led by Professor Alison Wendlandt have developed a precision technique that allows scientists to seamlessly relocate alcohol functional groups ...

Synthetic materials rarely mimic the dynamic helicity observed in biological systems like DNA and proteins, often forming ...

THERE has been considerable discussion during the past thirty years or so about the shape and in particular about the planarity of the fluorene molecule. If the molecule is not flat, then there is the ...

Ice comes in more forms than what you’ll find in a freezer or a glacier. Since 1900, scientists have observed more than 20 ...

THE development of the molecular theory of matter has as a consequence that an increasing number of empirical constants, by which one characterizes the behaviour of a macroscopic sample, are brought ...

MIT researchers have, for the first time, directly mapped the 3D atomic and polar structures of relaxor ferroelectrics, materials prized for their sensitivity to electric fields. Using multi-slice ...

In a new study published in Nature Communications, a team of chemists has unveiled a radically simple way to attach a highly sought-after "molecular handle," known as the dichloromethyl group, onto ...
