Chemists have synthesized so-called heteroatom-substituted cage-like 3D molecules. The innovative structures are created by precisely inserting a triatomic unit into the strained ring of a reaction ...

As its name suggests, ring-shaped “cage molecules” resemble a cage, and it is this three-dimensional structure that makes them significantly more stable than related, flat molecules. Consequently, ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) The field of surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) has long held the promise of single-molecule detection, but achieving this level of sensitivity in a reliable and ...

COLUMBUS, Ohio – Using advanced artificial intelligence, researchers have developed a novel method to make drug development faster and more efficient. DiffSMol works by analyzing the shapes of known ...

Researchers used a light-driven molecular motor to wind two molecular strands into an interlocked ring structure called a catenane, without forming chemical bonds. (Nanowerk News) Threads or ropes can ...

A research team at the University of Münster, led by chemist Professor Dr. Frank Glorius, has developed a novel process for creating so-called heteroatom-substituted 3D molecules. The findings have ...

A new set of molecular building blocks aims to make complex chemistry as simple and accessible as a toy construction kit. Researchers at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign and collaborators ...

Howard Hughes Medical Institute scientists have simplified the chemical synthesis of small molecules, eliminating a major bottleneck that limits the exploration of a class of compounds offering ...

Researchers are pushing magnetic resonance imaging to the nanoscale with the aim of developing a microscope that can directly image single molecules in 3D, explains Dan Rugar To the point To ...
