Driving an electric current through a molecule can create a magnetic field. Yet in practice, such fields are often too weak ...

Physicists have now demonstrated a particle accelerator so small it fits inside a single molecule, shrinking one of science’s most imposing machines to the scale of chemistry. Instead of ...

Rotaxanes are dumbbell-shaped mechanically interlocked molecules in which one or more ring-shaped molecules are threaded ...

An international team of scientists from IBM, The University of Manchester, Oxford University, ETH Zurich, EPFL and the University of Regensburg have created and characterized a molecule unlike any ...

Resulting atlas of the aging human brain holds molecular insights into the brain's vulnerability and resilience. Less than a decade ago, when Dr. Hansruedi Mathys launched an ambitious project to ...

Motor proteins power everything from muscle contraction to bacterial swimming. While replicating their chemically fuelled ...

Chemistry professor Danna Freedman crafts “designer molecules” for quantum information science. It all began with a simple origami model. As an undergrad at Harvard, Danna Freedman went to a professor ...

In the high-stakes world of drug discovery, building a new medicine is a lot like microscopic architecture. To create the next breakthrough antibiotic or brain-targeting therapy, chemists must snap ...

Less than a decade ago, when Dr. Hansruedi Mathys launched an ambitious project to create an annotated library of all the gene readouts stored within 100 individual brain cells, the task felt daunting ...
