The world of atoms and molecules is tricky to study, not just because it’s so small but because events occur so quickly at that scale. Now, researchers at the University of Tokyo have captured slow ...

Water rolls on h-BN but encounters friction on graphene. Atomic structure and substrate shape nanoscale movement, guiding advances in coatings and anti-icing surfaces. Researchers found that this ...

For the molecule that eschews a sedentary lifestyle, there is Molecules in Motion, a website dedicated to molecules on the go! Well, okay, it really has to do with molecular animations and interactive ...

Researchers tested a molecular energy harvesting device that captures the energy from the natural motion of molecules in a liquid. Their work showed molecular motion can be used to generate a stable ...

(Nanowerk News) From cells that migrate to tissues that heal, nature abounds with systems capable of sensing and adapting to their surroundings. Replicating this level of adaptability in synthetic ...

C. L. GAINES 1 has recently discussed the motion which long-chain polar molecules in mono-molecular layers on solid surfaces may undergo. His work leads to considerations of lubrication phenomena ...

Scientists have captured fascinating slow-motion video of single molecules in motion at 1,600 frames per second, according to a study. The team from the University of Tokyo (UT) say that the latest ...
