Obviously, the most common method for synthesizing polymers with a carbon-carbon main chain backbone is vinyl polymerization, by which many industrially important polymers, including common plastics ...
Bacteria possess an array of defenses against foreign invaders, including a broadly distributed bacteriophage defense system termed CBASS (cyclic oligonucleotide-based anti-phage signaling system). In ...
The properties of supramolecular polymers are dictated by the self-assembled state of the molecules. However, not much is known about the impact of morphologies on the properties of nano- and ...
Inside our cells, ribosomes—the tireless "protein factories" of life—have just shown off a new skill they haven't used in billions of years. A research team has become the first in the world to ...
Pushing the limits of size constraints in chemistry, an 8-nanometer 18-porphyrin nanoring (c-P18) becomes the largest known cyclic molecule to exhibit detectable global aromaticity. This phenomenon, ...
Azetidines, four-sided rings made of three carbon atoms and a nitrogen, are a handy molecular motif in applications as diverse as drug design and rocket fuels. The most efficient way to assemble them ...
