An early love of construction toys led the Scottish chemist to thread molecules together, opening up a new field of chemistry ...

Molecular robotics represents the ultimate in the miniaturisation of machinery. Our aim is to design and make the smallest machines possible. This is just the start but we anticipate that within 10 to ...

Scientists in Texas are reporting the development of a “nanodragster” that may speed the course toward development of a new generation of futuristic molecular machines. The vehicle — only 1/50,000th ...

It seems like the cell's molecular machines know this too." While this study focused on isolated molecules in an artificial set-up, the Duss Group is now preparing to expand their understanding of ...

A new study from Oregon Health & Science University has uncovered how small molecules within bacteria interact with proteins, ...

Molecular motors have inspired researchers to develop artificial molecular machines and nanodevices that mimic their functions and properties. Design of a molecular motor with a permanent electric ...

The actin cytoskeleton provides force for dynamic cellular processes, such as motility, morphogenesis, cell division, endocytosis, and phagocytosis. The organization and dynamics of actin filaments ...

Living matter remains the quintessential puzzle of biological sciences, a question that embodies the intricate complexity and stunning diversity of life forms. A new study suggests that one viable ...

The institute harbors ~35 research groups and 250 researchers, and it operates at the highest international level. The ‘Actin-based molecular machines’ group of Academy Professor Pekka Lappalainen at ...

HHMI scientists and their colleagues discover a new mechanism of protein synthesis. Ribosomes are the cell’s molecular machines, responsible for translating genetic information in messenger RNA into ...
