Similar to how bricks can come in different shapes and sizes, so can motifs and tiles. Creating these structural motifs and ...

the water molecules stay together keeping the shape of the balloon. The circles in this drawing represent water molecules. They are not in any exact order but are near each other because of their ...

Dr Paul McGonigal from Durham University investigates a class of molecules that have ‘shapeshifting’ properties. In other words they can totally change their shape in response to their environment. Dr ...

Tiny molecules that can change their shape in response to stimuli and swim ... These ‘photomechanical’ properties are highly desirable, particularly if the shape-changes are reversible ...

Scientists have achieved the first real-time visualization of how excited-state aromaticity emerges within just hundreds of ...

Structural and functional roles in biological molecules, such as DNA and proteins. Influencing the assembly and properties of nanomaterials ... Van der Waals forces play a role in the complex folding ...
