14-03-11 Fresh banana, a waft of flowers, blueberry: the scents in Shota Atsumi's laboratory in the UC Davis Department of Chemistry are a little sweeter than most. That's because Atsumi and his team are engineering bacteria to make esters（酯类） -- molecul...

14-03-05 Researchers at Columbia University have made a significant step toward visualizing small biomolecules inside living biological systems with minimum disturbance, a longstanding goal in the scientific community. In a study published March 2nd in Natur...

13-11-07 Researchers from Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) and the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (ETH) in Zurich have developed a new method of using nanotubes to detect molecules at extremely low concentrations enabling trace detection...

13-09-18 Separating target molecules in biological samples is a critical part of diagnosing and detecting diseases. Usually the target and probe molecules are mixed and then separated in batch processes that require multiple pipetting（移液，吸量） , tube wa...

13-09-11 An important discovery has been made concerning the possible inventory of molecules available to the early Earth. Scientists led by Sandra Pizzarello, a research professor in ASU's Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry, found that the Sutter's Mi...

13-08-21 University of Warwick scientists have shown how to tie knots in liquid crystals using a miniature Mbius strip made from silica（硅石） particles. By tying substances like this in knots, the researchers hope to understand how their intricate configur...

13-08-11 For most of us, a modern lifestyle without polymers is unthinkableif only we knew what they were. The ordinary hardware-store terms we use for them include plastics, polyethylene（聚乙烯） , epoxy resins（环氧树脂） , paints, adhesives, rubber -- wi...

13-08-06 Molecules could soon be scanned in a fashion similar to imaging screenings at airports, thanks to a detector developed by University of Pittsburgh physicists. The detector, featured in a recent issue of Nano Letters, may have the ability to chemical...

13-07-30 What do wound healing, cancer metastasis, and bacteria colonies have in common? They all involve the collective displacement of biological cells. New research sheds some new light on the physical mechanisms provoking the displacement of a sheet of c...

13-02-24 Sometimes the best discoveries come by accident. A team of researchers at Washington University in St. Louis, headed by Srikanth Singamaneni, PhD, assistant professor of mechanical engineering materials science, unexpectedly found the mechanism by w...
