Explore molecule shapes by building molecules in 3D! How does molecule shape change with different numbers of bonds and electron pairs? Find out by adding single, double or triple bonds and lone pairs ...

Advances in nanotechnology are often inspired by designs found in nature. Tiny molecules that can change their shape in response to stimuli and swim through the body, mimicking bacteria ...

Scientists in the UK have investigated the phenomenon of shape-selectivity in shape-shifting molecules – molecules that adopt different configurations depending on their environment. Most synthetic ...

the water molecules stay together keeping the shape of the balloon. The circles in this drawing represent water molecules. They are not in any exact order but are near each other because of their ...

wherein the base pairs that comprise DNA molecules are manipulated to build tiny structures in different shapes that can be used for applications including drug delivery, medical diagnostics and ...

Scientists have identified a new property, interface flexibility, that controls how certain molecules naturally self-organize into crystalline supramolecular networks. This significant discovery could ...

A physicist explains how atoms arrange themselves into molecules – and how scientists are able to image these tiny bits of matter that make up everything around you.

Certain advanced technologies, such as 3D displays, biosensing, and security printing, can utilize circularly polarized ...

Water molecules are so attracted to each other that even after the balloon pops, the water molecules stay together keeping the shape of the balloon. In the water molecule, the oxygen and hydrogen ...
