A metal–organic framework that contains ordered channels of two different sizes can separate different gases

Researchers working in Japan have developed a new theory that may explain the activity of two unusual, but vitally important, enzymes that were discovered over 40 years ago.

Nano-patterning on silicon: a single compound reacts with silicon surface to form perpendicular molecular lines

Molecules containing both electron donors and acceptors have been functionalized with tails that control their arrangement in a liquid-crystal photovoltaic device

Mapping of electron distribution in highly unusual hypervalent atom will advance our understanding of rare carbon compounds

Tying short RNA molecules into loops gives them a stability boost, which could lead to more effective therapeutic strategies for modulating gene expression

Researchers show how spins freeze in a molecular magnet

Two different chemical compounds can be used to draw perpendicular molecular lines on the surface of silicon substrates

A team of Japanese scientists has developed a method to ‘fish’ for specific DNA-base problems that are responsible for causing cancer. The method can also be used to identify the exact site and measure the extent of the disorder.

Researchers find superconductivity in a material typically used as cement

Researchers hold a key to studying cancer, wound healing and development

Researchers provide a detailed insight into the change in structure of a metal complex when exposed to light. This study not only sheds new light on the fundamental question of how metal-ligand complexes change shape in real time, but could have implications for practical applications that use these materials.

A team of Japanese scientists led by Akimitsu Okamoto from the RIKEN Frontier Research System, Wako, has developed a new method for tagging a particular DNA base responsible for causing cancer.

A new method to detect small changes in human genes could lead the way in personalized medicine. Specific, fluorescent dyes could light the way in recognizing genetic disorders resulting from small DNA sequence variations

IBN has pioneered methods to enable these nanocrystals to be used as powerful tools in bio-imaging and drug targeting
