Advances in nanotechnology are often inspired by designs found in nature. Tiny molecules that can change their shape in response to stimuli and swim through the body, mimicking bacteria ...

Scientists in the UK have investigated the phenomenon of shape-selectivity in shape-shifting molecules – molecules that adopt different configurations depending on their environment. Most synthetic ...

the water molecules stay together keeping the shape of the balloon. The circles in this drawing represent water molecules. They are not in any exact order but are near each other because of their ...

wherein the base pairs that comprise DNA molecules are manipulated to build tiny structures in different shapes that can be ...

This is due to the shape of the molecule. Water molecules are polar molecules. Both of the bonds inside the molecule are polar bonds. Due to the non-symmetrical shape of the molecule (bent), the ...

Johns Hopkins engineers have developed gel strips that change shape when given chemical instructions written in DNA code.

In a groundbreaking development, researchers from the United States and Denmark have successfully captured 3D images of ...
