Aromatic molecules are known for their stable electronic structures. These molecules typically adopt planar geometries with ...

The techniques used to study various forms of soft condensed matter can be applied to living systems, but there are differences in the approaches of physicists and biologists, say Wilson Poon, Tom ...

A team of researchers led by HHMI Investigator Michael Rosen has captured the most detailed images yet of the molecules in synthetic chromatin condensates — droplet-like structures of compacted DNA.

A new research effort is accelerating imaging techniques to visualize structures of small molecules clearly -- a process once thought impossible. Their discovery unleashes endless potential in ...

Physicists in the US have moved a step closer to controlling the electronic properties of individual molecules in a condensed matter environment. Michael Crommie and colleagues at the University of ...

My research uses self-consistent field theory to study the elasticity and defect structures of nematic phases formed by semiflexible molecules. In particular, I investigate Frank elastic constants, ...
