Organic materials consist of long chains of protein molecules repeatedly linked with smaller carbon-based molecules (hence the term “organic”). Unlike semiconducting crystals, which are small ...

The inside of a living cell is crowded with large, complex molecules. New research on how these molecules could spontaneously organize themselves could further our understanding of how cells manage ...

Inspired by how DNA can pack massive quantities of information into tiny amounts of material, chemists have been working for years on ways to use molecules for data storage. They’ve investigated ...

A University of Tsukuba researcher describes a new method for obtaining conjugated polymers in a helical configuration. By using twisted liquid crystals as a template, the resulting polymers were ...
