However, transmitting molecular movement to the macroscopic scale remains a formidable challenge. Here we report a single crystal of a Ni complex whose shape changes abruptly and reversibly in ...

While recent research has focused mainly on its medicinal ingredients and rubber properties, studies on how it grows and develops at the molecular ... phase (W1–W4). Dynamic changes in hormone ...

In quantum phase transitions, substances change their behaviour fundamentally at so called quantum critical points. An example of a "classical" phase transition is that of water when it begins to ...

Some of these, like phase-change memory and Intel's Optane, have even made it to market. But, so far at least, issues with price and capacity have kept them from widespread adoption. But that hasn ...

(Courtesy: Susumu Kuma, RIKEN) An international team led by chemists at the University of British Columbia (UBC), Canada, has reported strong experimental evidence for a superfluid phase in molecular ...

In the new study, Rangan and Reck-Peterson looked at changes to a pair of proteins in squid cells that serve as molecular motors transporting a variety of intracellular cargoes along cellular ...
