Fungal infections are killing thousands of Americans each year, some with a morbidity rate of nearly 80%. To make matters worse, only a handful of antifungal treatments are available, and even those are becoming less effective as fungi become more resistant. However, University of Oklahoma researchers have recently published findings in the Journal of Natural Products indicating that a novel breakthrough treatment…

Single-molecule electronic devices, which use single molecules or molecular monolayers as their conductive channels, offer a new strategy to resolve the miniaturization and functionalization bottlenecks encountered by traditional semiconductor electronic devices. These devices have many inherent advantages, including adjustable electronic characteristics, ease of availability, functional diversity and so on.

The double-sided Molecule All-Season Pillow has three adjustable levels for ultimate comfort

Fumarate triggers the release of nucleic acids from mitochondria.

Researchers at Kanazawa University in collaboration with teams from Toyama Prefectural University and BioSeeds Corporation report in ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces the identification of a molecule with enhanced antiproliferative activity in cancer cells. The underlying biomolecular mechanism is the inhibition of an enzyme that is overproduced in several types of cancer.

Over eighty years ago, Rabi oscillations were proposed to describe the strong coupling and population transfer in a two-level quantum system exposed to an oscillatory driving field. As compared to atoms, molecules have an extra degree of vibration, which adds an additional knob to the Rabi oscillations in light-molecule interactions. However, how such a laser-driven Rabi oscillation during the stretching of…

Recently, a group of illegal counterfeiters was apprehended for producing around 400 fake luxury jewelry items using molds. They were able to create hundreds of faked luxury items simply after pouring molten metal into molds produced from the original jewelry. Similarly, in the molecular world, a template scaffold can produce an endless amount of molecular crystals of any shape or form.

A new candidate drug reduced inflammation and improved memory in human cell cultures and Alzheimer's mouse models. The work was co-led by the lab of Li-Huei Tsai at the Picower Institute for Learning and Memory.

Researchers discovered that a heart-shaped molecule will jump in straight lines when given an electric jolt

The tricarbon molecule (C3) is likely produced in the upper atmosphere of Titan by the reaction of abundant acetylene with atomic carbon.

Researchers from Quantum-Si have published an article in Science that showcases how single-molecule protein sequencing via semiconductor chip and Time Domain Sequencing technologies will transform life science and biomedical research. This first-of-its-kind sequencing process, which provides an unparalleled understanding of proteins, will advance drug discovery and diagnostics and bring transformative health and…
