Mechanically interlocked molecules (MIMs) not only represent non-trivial synthetic challenges that require the state of the art in structural designs and precise preparations, but also play critical ...

We pioneer the use of an aromatic hydrocarbon derivative to break through the limitation of molecular conductors. The constituent molecules for conductors have been practically limited to planar ...

Scientists created dye-based molecules that self-assemble into ring-shaped structures, mimicking nature's light-harvesting systems. These stacked rings allow electrons and energy to circulate freely, ...

Conjugated antibodies are used in different clinical and non-clinical approaches. For example, antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) and radioimmunoconjugates (RICs) may be used in the clinic for the ...

An atomic force microscope (AFM) has revealed how the structure and bonding patterns of organic molecules change as they take on electrical charges (Science 2019, DOI: 10.1126/science.aax5895). The ...

Plants mastered the art of harvesting sunlight billions of years ago, using elegant rings of pigments in their leaves. Now, researchers from Osaka Metropolitan University have taken a major step ...
