- Building better enzymes - by breaking them down
Enzymes have the potential to transform the chemical industry by providing green alternatives to a slew of processes. These proteins act as biological catalysts, and with the help of molecular engi...
- Resolving the puzzles of graphene superconductivity
Since superconductivity in three-layered graphene was discovered in September, the physics community has been left puzzled. Now, three months later, physicists from IST Austria together with collea... - Putting a "Super Cork" on the Coronavirus
Even though vaccines may be steering the world toward a post-pandemic normal, a constantly mutating SARS-CoV-2 necessitates the development of effective drugs. In a new study published in Nature Mi... - The mechanism that leads to unique, hollow-structured crystals having sought-after properties
From the creators of yo-yo crystals comes the brand-new sequel - hollow crystals. When a team of scientific investigators detected an enigmatic structure never before seen in a lab, they knew they ...
- A measure of smell enables the creation of olfactory metamers
Fragrances - promising mystery, intrigue and forbidden thrills - are blended by master perfumers, their recipes kept secret. In a new study on the sense of smell, Weizmann Institute of Science rese... - Why some crystals do not come together as predicted
When we say that something is "crystal-clear," we mean that it couldn't possibly be clearer, but much about crystals themselves is not clear at all. Scientists are for the most part still unable to...
- Contact lenses with medicine and sugar
Researchers at the Fraunhofer Institute for Applied Polymer Research IAP are working with Israeli and German partners to develop long-wearing contact lenses that can release medicine. The active in...
- 3D cryo-electron microscopy: new method for observing cell structure
3D cryo-electron microscopy provides scientists with unique insights into the structure of biological samples. As the cells themselves produce relatively little contrast in images, phase-contrast m...
- Imaging the absolute configuration of a chiral compound for the first time
In a complex experiment, Heidelberg researchers have succeeded for the first time in determining the absolute configuration of a chiral compound by means of direct imaging. They were able to conclu...
- Scientists Discover Chemical Signal in Human Tears
Emotional crying is a universal, uniquely human behavior. When we cry, we clearly send all sorts of emotional signals. In a paper published online today in Science Express, scientists at the Weizma...
- DNA Computation Gets Logical at the Weizmann Institute of Science
The world's smallest computers, made of DNA and other biological molecules, just got more "user friendly" thanks to research at the Weizmann Institute of Science.Biomolecular computers, made of DNA...
