Since these are photoresponsive molecules, when the stacked helical structures are exposed to weak ultraviolet (UV) light, the helical assembly disassembles back into individual molecules ...

Yagai, “Even minute impurities or slight changes in the conditions can impact the final structure of the formed aggregates.” For the study, the research team focused on the self-assembly of a chiral, ...

Allen Institute researchers Leila Elabbady and Clay Reid examine brain mapping data from the MICrONS project. (Allen Institute Photo) Researchers say they’ve accomplished a feat that was said to ...

By cleverly twisting rods into a helical shape and integrating them into a new metamaterial structure, they’ve overcome traditional design limits, achieving an enthalpy 2 to 160 times higher than ...

A massive asteroid that sent shockwaves through the scientific community just weeks ago—after it was briefly deemed a potential threat to Earth—may now be on a collision course with the Moon ...

The urgent need for an advanced centre on bridge research, a special window for clearance of iconic structures, and preservation of all records of building such bridges — these are some of the ...

As of 2 p.m. on the afternoon of March 28, officers with the Upper Ottawa Valley (UOV) Detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) remain at the scene of the structure fire which is located ...

The proposed joint mimics the structural properties of DNA molecules, including an outer helical structure and four coaxially nested inner helical backbones, improving compressive and torsional ...
