Carbon nanotubes are long thin cylinders composed entirely of carbon atoms. While their diameters are in the nanometer range (1-10), they can be very long, up…
Many molecular materials, be they hydrogen for fuel cells or drugs, can be stored in metal-organic frameworks (MOFs). This would even be possible for metal…
“The new transposon system is able to introduce genes into cells and to stably insert them into the cell's genome at an unprecedented efficiency,” Dr. Lajos…
Recycling is important not only on a global scale, but also at the cellular level, since key molecules tend to be available in limited numbers. This means a…
