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 ...

A research team has synthesized three-dimensionally shaped molecules containing an internal twist and shown that they possess the properties of organic semiconductors. By introducing methyl groups ...

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, ...

(Nanowerk News) Getting a molecule to do what you want it to do is not always easy. As an example, an organic molecule will absorb only certain wavelengths of light based on its arrangement of ...

The global bioconjugation market is set to witness a growth rate of ~13% in the next 5 years. Increasing demand for targeted ...

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 ...

Flat, dye-like molecules with eight upright, pillar-shaped extensions self-assemble into pairs, interlocking like gears to form a tightly packed ring of 16 stacked layers. This structure allows charge ...
