In molecular crystals that exhibit singlet fission, quantum yields depend strongly on intermolecular configurations that control the relevant electronic couplings. Here, we explore how noncovalent ...

Researchers present a special silicon nitride nanopore-based sensing device that is designed to provide volume information about tau and tubulin protein molecules and their aggregation states. To ...

This study is led by Prof. Zang (Green Catalysis Center and College of Chemistry, Zhengzhou University), and the research team proposed a new aggregation-induced emission mechanism for phosphorescent ...

Liquid-liquid phase separation is not a precursor to formation of amyloid fibrils, a pathological hallmark of Parkinson's disease, shows study. Rather, the formation of protein into liquid droplets ...

Excited state dynamics are essential for understanding fluorescence properties in molecules, impacting their application in technologies. Recent research explores how molecular structure and geometry ...

Researchers have used computational models to understand what drives the accumulation of alpha-synuclein protein, a key culprit in the development of Parkinson’s disease. The study, published today as ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) Water bodies have absorbed millions of tons of plastic debris since mass production began in the 1950s. As these materials degrade, they break into microscopic and nanoscale ...

Intracellular proteins that condense into droplets via liquid-liquid phase separation (LLPS) have been suspected of favoring the formation of amyloid fibrils, and thereby causing neurodegenerative ...

The eukaryotic cell is the basic unit of animals and plants. At the microscope, it looks highly structured and subdivided into many membrane-bound compartments. Each compartment has a specific ...

(Nanowerk News) Harnessing the power of the sun is vital for a clean, green future. To do so, we need optoelectronic devices, like solar cells, that can convert light into electricity efficiently. Now ...
