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 ...

Florida State University chemists have synthesized new molecules derived from bacteria found in a Pacific Ocean sea sponge, a ...

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 ...

(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 ...

Chemists at UCLA are showing that some of organic chemistry’s most famous “rules” aren’t as unbreakable as once thought. By creating bizarre, cage-shaped molecules with warped double bonds—structures ...

Using advanced artificial intelligence, researchers have developed a novel method to make drug development faster and more efficient. In a new paper, Xia Ning, lead author of the study and a professor ...

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 ...

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, ...
