Cornell researchers have developed a new way to create moiré patterns—atomic-scale structures that can give materials unusual ...

By examining tungsten disulfide at the atomic level, researchers are uncovering possibilities for energy storage, sensors, ...

Garlic, as your grandmother may have told you, repels mosquitoes; it also completely blocks them from mating and laying eggs.

Researchers at Nagoya University in Japan have developed a lipid nanoparticle that delivers mRNA to cells five times more effectively. By attaching a sulfur-containing ring structure—a cyclic ...

Marking a global first for 2D semiconductors, the new microprocessor overcomes silicon size limits to boost density and slash ...

Magnetic micropillar arrays consist of tiny, vertical pin-shaped structures, arranged in a grid-like pattern. These micropillars can change their shape to a pre-programmed geometry when exposed to a ...

In Gram-negative bacteria, three-component multidrug efflux systems have an important role in the transport of noxious substances such as dyes, detergents, bile salts and diverse antibiotics out of ...

Beneath the microscope, tungsten disulfide transforms from a dull gray powder into a landscape of geometric perfection — atom ...

Cholesterol-dependent cytolysins (CDCs) are a large family of secreted bacterial pore-forming toxins that specifically bind cholesterol-containing mammalian membranes 1. Although the pore size ...

A team of scientists from the University of Saskatchewan, Canada, has recently demonstrated that chemical agents capable of reducing disulfide (S-S) bonds can be potentially used as antiviral drugs ...

NADPH is mainly supplied from glucose, so cutting off the glucose supply can lead to an accumulation of disulfide molecules and cell death. The precise mechanism behind this process was not previously ...
