Enzymes are molecular machines that carry out the chemical reactions that sustain all life, an ability that has captured the ...

We have a lot to learn from nature; biological machines can be super efficient, and utilize principles and mechanisms unfamiliar to macroscopic machines. This course introduces students to the strange ...

In molecular shuttles, a ring molecule is threaded onto a linear molecular strand and can move between two portions of the ...

Molecular robotics represents the ultimate in the miniaturisation of machinery. Our aim is to design and make the smallest machines possible. This is just the start but we anticipate that within 10 to ...

The actin cytoskeleton provides force for dynamic cellular processes, such as motility, morphogenesis, cell division, endocytosis, and phagocytosis. The organization and dynamics of actin filaments ...

Measuring individual trajectories during the operation of such synthetic devices is crucial for a thorough understanding of its operation and in the optimization of molecular machines. Researchers at ...

I got to research different methodologies in cheminformatics and focused on combining (machine-learning based) molecular representations, fitting well into the scope of the SPP. It was great to get an ...

Mechanosynthesis is a proposed method of precisely controlling the assembly of atoms and molecules to build complex structures at the nanoscale. It involves the use of advanced molecular machines, ...
