Liquids and solutions may look simple, but on the molecular scale they are constantly shifting and reorganizing. When sugar dissolves in water, each sugar molecule quickly becomes surrounded by fast ...

While DNA is portrayed as a beautiful double helix, in live cells it’s a clump of tangles that seems impenetrable. However, there are lots of important molecules that need to get to the right parts of ...

Cartilage cells generate more protein components (collagen II and aggrecan) for regeneration when treated with fast-moving dancing molecules (left) compared to slower moving molecules. In November ...

Roughness, the presence of irregularities on a surface, is commonly associated to slower motion and stickiness. This is true at different length scales: at human size (1 meter), it takes longer to ...

The era of moving molecules for energy is coming to an end as we electrify everything everywhere all at once. Moving electrons is more efficient and lower impact. Pipelines are steel tubes that mostly ...

Contrary to what one might think, molecules can move faster in the proximity of rougher surfaces. Roughness, the presence of irregularities on a surface, is commonly associated to slower motion and ...
