The molecule-sized devices activated the same calcium-based cellular signaling mechanism in a live organism, causing whole-body contraction in a fresh-water polyp, or Hydra vulgaris. "This is the ...

Ferrocene is a key molecule for developing molecular machines. However, it readily decomposes on the surface of flat noble metal substrates, marking a significant challenge. Now researchers have ...

Molecular machine learning (ML) underpins critical workflows in drug discovery, material science, and catalyst optimization by rapidly predicting molecular interactions and properties. For instance, ...
