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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

(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 ...

Organic chemistry is packed with rules about structure and reactivity, especially when it comes to making and breaking chemical bonds. The rules governing how these bonds, which hold atoms together in ...

From classrooms to cutting-edge labs, 3D molecular visualization is transforming how we understand chemistry. Digital tools, physical models, and quantum-informed simulations are making the invisible ...

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, ...
