(Nanowerk News) Researchers at Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz (JGU) have confirmed the original model of the molecular structure of water and have thus made it possible to resolve a long-standing ...

Tokyo - Water holds a special place among liquids for its unusual properties, and remains poorly understood. For example, it expands just upon the freezing to ice, and becomes less viscous under ...

Menlo Park, Calif.—Water is familiar to everyone—it shapes our bodies and our planet. But despite this abundance, the molecular structure of water has remained a mystery, with the substance exhibiting ...

BUFFALO, N.Y. — University at Buffalo chemists have shown that self-assembling molecular traps can be used to capture PFAS — dangerous pollutants that have contaminated drinking water supplies around ...

The tetrahedral geometry of four-coordinate carbon atoms is a steadfast property of organic compounds. Nevertheless, chemists are still attracted to the possibility of twisting or squashing a ...

Typically we consider that water molecules in the liquid state move randomly on ultrafast timescales due to thermal fluctuations. Now, scientists have discovered correlated motion in water dynamics on ...

In metal-containing supramolecular complexes, organic ligands self-assemble around metal atoms to form molecular cages of various sizes and shapes. Researchers can change a complex’s shape by changing ...

Figure 1: Hydrolsysis of the acyl–enzyme intermediate formed between β-casomorphin-7 (YPFVEPI) and porcine pancreatic elastase. Here, we describe high resolution crystal structures for cryogenically ...

Researchers have confirmed the original model of the molecular structure of water and have thus made it possible to resolve a long-standing scientific controversy about the structure of liquid water.
