Light does more than illuminate the world—it can also push and twist matter. It was back in the 1870s that James Clerk ...

Taking this concept literally, researchers in Canada have now discovered that "breaking" molecular nanomachines basic to life can create new ones that work even better. Their findings are published in ...

A new study suggests that Cytochromes P450 (CYP450s) enzymes can sense and respond to stimuli, acting like soft robots in living systems. Study reveals an important discovery in the realm of ...

University of Liverpool and Newcastle researchers have uncovered how bacterial organelles assemble, opening new routes for bioengineering and climate innovation. The collaborative team has unveiled ...

Can the specificity of DNA be harnessed? DNA has very high specificity, so that a particular DNA sequence will always bind to its complementary DNA sequence. This can, therefore, be used to design ...

AMES, Iowa – Imagine you want to build an intricate work of architecture, like a castle. Now imagine that, once all its individual components are brought together, the castle builds itself ...

Researchers have unveiled breakthroughs in nanotechnology, including a method to measure and control light’s twisting forces on nanoscale objects and a new synthesis strategy for high‑entropy alloy ...

・Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) is an enzyme required for cancer cells to metastasize/invade, and cancer cells with higher MMP activity have higher metastasis ability and progress quickly. In this ...

The field of nanomachines and nanocar dynamics explores the design, synthesis and controlled movement of molecular-scale vehicles that operate on surfaces. These systems utilise diverse wheel ...

Anti-diabetic drugs may become cheaper and more accessible thanks to a breakthrough from CSIRO, Australia's national science agency. Scientists from CSIRO's Synthetic Biology Future Science Platform ...

Scientists have now found answers to central questions which had previously stood in the way of acoustic propulsion of nanoparticles. Microscopically tiny nanomachines which move like submarines with ...

[Jerusalem, Israel] Study reveals an important discovery in the realm of nanomachines within living systems. Prof. Sason Shaik from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem and Dr. Kshatresh Dutta Dubey ...
