During DNA replication, the classic double helix can temporarily rearrange into an alternative structure known as a DNA three-way junction (3WJ). These configurations form a well-defined central ...

Researchers at Kumamoto University, in collaboration with colleagues in South Korea and Taiwan, have discovered that a unique cobalt-based molecule with metal–metal bonds can function as a spin ...

A single molecule can trigger and tune the Kondo effect, challenging long-held physics assumptions and offering new paths for molecular electronics and quantum devices. The Kondo effect occurs when ...

The Nature Index 2026 Research Leaders reveal the leading institutions and countries/territories in the natural sciences, health sciences, applied sciences and social sciences, according to their ...

Biomolecules such as amino acids and sugars occur in two mirror-image forms -- in all living organisms, however, only one is ever found. Why this is the case is still unclear. Researchers have now ...

Illustration of a molecular Kondo-box singlet formed by large orbital overlap between symmetry-matched dπ and π orbitals in an atomic/molecular system on a metal surface. Recently, a research group ...

Nearly half of EVs still rely on cobalt-based batteries, leaving automakers exposed to supply chain risks despite the growing adoption of cobalt-free LFP batteries by companies like Tesla and BYD.

Researchers at the Nano Life Science Institute (WPI-NanoLSI) at Kanazawa University, the Institute for Molecular Science and ...
