Simulating how atoms and molecules move over time is a central challenge in computational chemistry and materials science.

Mechanical forces play a central role in regulating biological function across length scales, influencing processes such as protein folding and stability, molecular transport, enzymatic activity, and ...

Van der Waals forces represent a fundamental type of interaction between molecules. Named after the Dutch physicist Johannes Diderik van der Waals, these intermolecular forces include attractions and ...

Figure (a) shows the formation of a DNA tether between the bead and the engineered Piezo1 channel, along with the remote suction setup used to apply force. Figure (b) illustrates the design of the ...

(Nanowerk News) Plastics or DNA: Many molecules are so long that they can form knots, much like tying shoes. Whereas it is still disputed whether right- and left-handed people prefer to tie their ...
