Molecular polarity and intermolecular forces explain why substances dissolve, boil, or stick together the way they do. From the shape of a molecule to the pull of its atoms, polarity determines ...

Neuroplasticity and development have traditionally focused on synaptic mechanisms as the primary substrates of circuit remodeling. However, recent advances ...

Endocrine systems are defined by complex dynamic behaviours such as oscillations, delays, transient responses, and feedback regulation, all of which are ...

Electron spin can create differences between mirror-image molecules, a potential explanation for why life favors one ...

Differences in brain connectivity are linked to several neurodevelopmental disorders, yet scientists still struggle to ...

From the locked geometry of cis-trans isomers to the invisible tug-of-war of molecular polarity, chemistry’s building blocks determine how substances behave. These structural differences influence ...

A research team is linking atomic-scale motors into 3D structures to create the next generation of programmable, intelligent ...

A protein long understood to drive inflammation by producing nitric oxide has a second, previously unknown role—it physically ...

Using donor-acceptor chemistry to create ultra-thin nanoribbons, just a few atoms wide, could help to shape new electronic ...

Most fat stores energy; the body's brown fat does the opposite. Unlike the white fat that accumulates just under our skin, ...

Researchers have uncovered that an orthogonal molecular architecture directs the formation of a rare double-cable structure, ...

Plastic pollution is an evolving global environmental crisis. More than 90% of all plastics manufactured end up polluting the environment, where they can harm ecosystems and impact human health. This ...
