Nano-hinges are the next step in the development of molecular machines
Finnish and Israeli scientists have found a way to move the hinges at the nanoscale. This marks the next step in the development of what is called molecular machines. This will ultimately make it possible to develop new therapeutic approaches, for example in medicine. Until now, it was not possible to control this type of …

Molecular probes require very precise calculations
Catalysts are essential for many technologies. To further improve heterogeneous catalysts, it is necessary to analyze the complex processes at their surfaces, where the active sites are. Scientists at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT), as well as colleagues from Spain and Argentina, have now achieved breakthroughs: as reported in Physical Review Letters, they use …

The auto industry faces unprecedented change
BERLIN, December 11, 2020 / PRNewswire / – While automobiles that use fossil fuels are inherently unsustainable, the lack of viable alternatives has led the world to look away from this reality. However, the rise of electric car makers like Tesla has forced more attention to events like the German diesel scandal of 2019, drawing …
