Inspired by biological systems, materials scientists have long sought to harness self-assembly to build nanomaterials. The ...

Many pathogenic viruses require a specific structure to be infectious, and their proteins form that structure in vivo with remarkable fidelity. The dynamical process by which protein conformations are ...

Researchers uncover geometric principles governing how particles self-assemble, solving a long-standing challenge in ...

Molecular instructions in living cells can be timed rather like the notes or chords in a piece of music. For example, a finite number of genes can be activated and expressed in different orders, for ...
