NASA’s Curiosity rover has detected more than 20 organic compounds in 3.5‑billion‑year‑old Gale Crater rocks using gas chromatography–mass spectrometry. The findings expand the catalog of Martian ...

Educational gaps in macromolecular separations are widening; training resources must address both fundamentals and advanced ...

The three-dimensional structure adopted by biological macromolecules largely determines their role in different cellular processes. Several different imaging techniques ranging from X-ray ...

Mastering how to completely control the exact monomer sequence of synthetic polymers is the ultimate key for establishing true biomimetic macromolecular chemistry. A versatile one-pot approach for the ...

Chemists have succeeded in specifically controlling the setup of precision polymers by light-induced chemical reactions. The new method allows for the precise, planned arrangement of the chain links, ...

For biochemists, measuring the size and diffusion properties of large molecules such as proteins and DNA using dynamic light-scattering techniques and the Stokes-Einstein formula has been mostly ...

Vakil Takhaveev joined Matthias Heinemann’s laboratory at the University of Groningen in 2015 to research cellular metabolism. Early in his studies using budding yeast as a model organism, he peered ...

Understanding the molecular mechanisms underlying the phenomenon of photosynthesis can enable significant progress in the fields of biotechnology and renewable energy. Photosystem II (PSII), a protein ...

Marc A. Hillmyer, Presidential McKnight Endowed Chair and Professor of Chemistry at the University of Minnesota, has been named the new editor-in-chief Macromolecules. He will succeed Timothy P. Lodge ...

Space to play or pause, M to mute, left and right arrows to seek, up and down arrows for volume. Robyn Williams: Maths, physics, the king and queen of science, and all the rest is stamp collecting, ...
