What you need is some sort of stable base, something like a carpet where the children can sit down and be brought gently together. Luckily exactly this kind of platform existed in the shape of the newly formed stardust!But what force could be used to make the free atoms stick to a ...
Here an isostructural desymmetrization strategy is developed, demonstrating that two achiral rings, each featuring two mirror planes and a two-fold axis of symmetry, can form a catenane with tuneable mechanical chirality. Chun Tang Ruihua Zhang J. Fraser Stoddart Research14 Apr 2025 Nature ...
“The field is ready,” says Chen. “It takes everyone interested in sirtuin biology, including ELC, to really put together all the data and expertise to make that happen.”For more information on Estée Lauder Companies work on sirtuins, please visit here.References...
What holds those atoms and molecules together to make a strong nylon fiber or a cell membrane, or a hard, brittle hydroxyapatite ceramic, or a sheet of gold, or a drop of water? Even in the early 18th century, Isaac Newton was pondering this issue: "There are therefore Agents in Nature...
In liquids, intermolecular forces are still too weak to hold the molecules in place. The molecules have enough energy to repeatedly make and break the intermolecular bonds, sliding past one another and taking the form of their container. For example, in water, the bipole molecules are made up...
We need to connect the two molecules together to form a complete simulation model. Causal structure needs to be added between the molecules, and we might need additional variables. Equations need to be appropriately modified to reflect the changes in structure, and changes in units of measurement...

Atoms and molecules form the foundation of all matter in our universe. Thedifference between atoms and moleculesis fundamental to understanding chemistry. Anatomis the smallest unit of an element that maintains its chemical properties, while amoleculeforms when two or more atoms join together through...
Solids can contain separate atoms bonded together. A solid is always crystalline, and contains repeating patterns. 2. What is a heterogeneous mixture? Where different parts of the solid has different concentrations. Where any components that make it up are spread evenly around each other. ...
We make a self-assembled monolayer (SAM) of these well-defined chiral helices on Au films, followed by drop-casting Au NPs on top to form the NPoM/OS system. Due to the ultrathin spacer of the SAM (< ~ 2 nm), the resulting Au NPoM exhibits intense electric field confinement...
