A miniature generator can convert the movements of molecules in room temperature liquid into electricity. The device could one day be used to power devices like medical implants or even small ...

Scientists have discovered a way to make molecules sitting on a flat surface rotate together using extremely short flashes of ...

Researchers from Germany, Japan and India, led by scientists from DESY and the Universities of Kiel and Hamburg, have found a way to collectively make molecules on a flat surface rotate by exposing ...

Using the world’s most powerful X-ray laser, researchers have captured the hidden, never-ending vibrations of atoms inside molecules. This first-ever direct view of zero-point motion reveals that ...

(Nanowerk News) Wave energy technology is a proven source of power generation, but there is power inherent in every molecule of liquid on earth, even when the liquid is at rest. At the molecular scale ...

Water rolls on h-BN but encounters friction on graphene. Atomic structure and substrate shape nanoscale movement, guiding advances in coatings and anti-icing surfaces. Researchers found that this ...

A team of researchers used a new technique, called high-resolution template matching, or HRTM, to uncover in unprecedented detail the movement of ribosomes -- the molecular structures that synthesize ...

Vesicle-based prototissue fibers can be shaped into specific patterns through controlled assembly. Researchers demonstrated this by creating letter-shaped patterns at the microscale, showcasing the ...

In a study published in Nature Communications, researchers from Graz University of Technology (TU Graz) and the University of Surrey tested two ultra-thin, sheet-like materials with a honeycomb ...

The Nature Index 2025 Research Leaders — previously known as Annual Tables — reveal the leading institutions and countries/territories in the natural and health sciences, according to their output in ...
