A molecular model shows two macrocycles interlocked like links in a chain, with additional atoms attached on the side of one ring. This conceptual version of the catenane made by Michael Kathan and ...

Artificial molecular machines, nanoscale machines consisting of a few molecules, offer the potential to transform fields involving catalysts, molecular electronics, medicines, and quantum materials.

Machine learning methods for drug discovery often face difficulties in identifying novel bioactive molecules that do not belong to the training data distribution. A new metric can now quantify ...

Imagine a microscopic locomotive moving back and forth along a track, propelling itself without any external force. At the molecular level, this concept forms the foundation of molecular ...

The structural design of molecular machines and motors endows them with externally controlled directional motion at the molecular scale. Molecular machines based on both interlocked and ...

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 ...

Professor Jiawen Chen and Associate Researcher Yan Wang from South China Normal University, in collaboration with Professor Ben L. Feringa's team at the University of Groningen, Netherlands, designed ...
