Figure 1. Chemical formula and phase sequence of 8CB. In order to investigate the microscopic behavior of free-standing film (FSF), the molecular dynamics (MD) simulation was carried out for a system ...

Molecular structure of water at gold electrodes revealed Date: October 23, 2014 Source: DOE/Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory Summary: Researchers have recorded the first observations of the ...

IntroductionWhen a charged object such as a rubber balloon is brought close to a fine stream of a polar liquid, the stream is attracted toward the electrical charge. If the same charged object is ...

In this valuable study, Kumar et al., provide evidence suggesting that the p130Cas drives the formation of condensates that sprout from focal adhesions to cytoplasm and suppress translation. Pending ...

Researchers at Duke University have uncovered the molecular inner workings of a material that could underpin next-generation rechargeable batteries. Unlike today's popular lithium-ion batteries ...

Photo-switchable binding of DNA nanostructures enabled photo-reversible fluidity within DNA liquid condensates.
