Though it might seem like science fiction, scientists are working to build nanoscale molecular machines that can be designed ...

Imagine tiny machines, smaller than a virus, spinning inside cancer cells and rewiring their behavior from within. No surgery ...

Visible light is a clean and abundant energy source for molecular motors,” says Lili Hou of Tianjin University, a ...

Scientists have built DNA-based nanocircuits that reset with heat, enabling reusable molecular systems for tasks like cargo ...

More than a decade ago, scientists harnessed a bacterial molecular machine that identifies and cuts specific sections of DNA, revolutionizing the ability to edit genes and accelerating research into ...

Rotaxanes and related molecular machines represent a rapidly developing class of mechanically interlocked molecules that have captured the interest of chemists and materials scientists alike.

Fast-scanning atomic force microscopy imaging of the molecule at two different time points shows positional shifts along the polymer chain on the left. On the right, the molecular structure of PEG ...

RIT computing students and Professor Rui Li are working on a National Institutes of Health-funded project to use AI in ...

Whenever the immune system fights a pathogen, it has a memory of that experience, whether it's with an invader or a vaccine that mimics an infection, for example. Scientists have now developed a way ...

Human genes that encode proteins often contain non-coding segments known as introns. Removing introns is crucial for the proper expression of genetic information. Understanding how our cells ...

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 motors -- ...
