When we think of ions, we usually think of single atoms that have lost or gained some electrons, but entire molecules can also become ions. Physicists now show that cold molecular ions can be created ...
Ions influence conductivity and mobility in molecular liquid crystals, affecting electrical behavior, stability, and performance in both established and emerging technologies. (Nanowerk Spotlight) The ...
By shuttling silver and mercury between binding sites in DNA, scientists make the molecule switch conductance levels like a ...
Researchers at Hebei University of Technology have discovered an unexpected new function for nano-biochar, demonstrating its ...
"We study cometary bodies because they act as time capsules, sealing in material from their formation billions of years ago." ...
A member of an important class of ion channel proteins can transiently rearrange itself into a larger structure with dramatically altered properties, according to a new study. The discovery is a ...
