In a recent study that merges supramolecular chemistry and molecular electronics, a research team has demonstrated how supramolecular porphyrin-based cages can enable tunable photoresponsive charge ...

In biological systems, especially for protein molecules, the formation of nanotubular structures is often guided by molecular ...

Versatile molecular frameworks called discrete supramolecular structures act like microscopic building blocks customizable for a wide variety of applications. The structures can serve in drug delivery ...

Frank Würthner, a professor of chemistry at the University of Würzburg, receives the Izatt-Christensen Award, the highest ...

In 1848, Louis Pasteur successfully segregated two types of crystals of double sodium-ammonium salt of tartaric acid, which were mirror images of each other. Back then, this was done manually through ...

Researchers have developed a system for designing protein inhibitors with reversible activity. The method is based on a supramolecular drug that results from the interaction of two or more molecules ...

Researchers have created 'smart' microparticles that self-assemble in response to the addition of a specific molecule. This work can help explain the behavior of biomolecular complexes, as well as ...

Researchers were able to demonstrate for the first time that non-covalent bonds between spin centers are also capable of producing quartet states through spin mixing. Supramolecular chemistry is thus ...

Supramolecular glass is a non-covalently cross-linked amorphous material exhibiting exceptional optical behavior and distinctive intrinsic structural features. Like its gel counterpart, supramolecular ...

A neuromorphic sensor can detect humidity, process signals, and store data in one device. It uses less energy and can be used ...
