Insights from theoretical physics are helping scientists understand how living cells process information and use it to self-organise Researchers ...

Every crystal’s shape is a mirror of the internal arrangement of their molecules, but the molecules in photoswitchable crystals can expand, twist and change properties — from their color to their ...

A setback in growing light-responsive crystals led UB chemist Jason Benedict and his team to a novel method for mapping molecular arrangements.

Imagine a "smart fluid" whose internal structure can be rearranged just by changing temperature. In a new study published in Matter, researchers report a way to overcome a long-standing limitation in ...

Whether a smartphone battery lasts longer or a new drug can be developed to treat incurable diseases depends on how stably the atoms constituting the material are bonded. The core of 'molecular design ...

Modified molecule shows diminished respiratory depression—the leading cause of opioid overdose deaths—while retaining full ...

A new vaccine design uses folded DNA to steer the immune system toward producing the rare immune cells needed to make protective antibodies against HIV.

Professor Chad Mirkin found that the vaccine’s carefully organized structure dramatically boosts cancer-fighting immunity.

"O° was born as a biodegradable single-material shoe that brings you closer to the earth and in turn, closer to yourself. It’s a physical expression of the ‘get closer’ mindset, an antidote to the ...
