Hollow atoms are special atoms with multiple missing electrons in their inner shells, while their outer shells are still ...

Objective Cluster science is a very important research field in computational chemistry, and the prediction of the lowest energy structure of B40 and B45 has always been a difficult problem. However, ...

By combining dynamic light scattering, circular dichroism spectroscopy, atomic force microscopy, and surface force apparatus, the conformation of bovine submaxillary mucin in dilute solution and ...

Kanazawa University, report in Small, on how short peptides self-assemble linearly on atomically-thick solid surfaces, such ...

Understanding how molecular arrangements within crystals influence their thermal behavior is a fundamental question in ...

The researchers designed short and simple dipeptides, mainly consisting of alternating amino acids with aromatic side groups, tyrosine (Y) and histidine (H) (Fig. 2). The former is hydrophobic residue ...

Borophene, a two-dimensional material comprised of boron atoms, demonstrates distinctive characteristics like high thermal conductivity, electrical conductivity and mechanical strength [1]. Recently, ...

This effective approach to mode mixing provided a reliable description of lattice modes that was then used to compute electron–phonon coupling in the prototypical organic semiconductors rubrene and ...

The structure showed 12 transmembrane helices in two pseudo-symmetric bundles and two periplasmic subdomains. Experiments showed that the coiled-coil domain, whose predicted model extends from one of ...
