An important step towards highly effective drugs
Receptor proteins located within the cell membrane serve to convey molecules or information into the interior. Because numerous drugs function by binding to such receptors, their interactions play important roles in the fight against various diseases. For example, the coupling can activate a signal more …

Electric Glue: Electrically Controlled Polymer-Surface Adhesion
Polymer-surface interactions provide a basis for nanoscaledesign and for understanding the fundamental chemistry and physics at theselength scales. Controlling these interactions will provide the foundation forfurther manipulation, control, and measurement of single molecule processes. It is this more …

Sound makes nanowires blink
Like copper wires in our everyday life, nanowires are envisioned to act as interconnecting elements in future electronic circuits on the nanoscale. Moreover, when made from semiconductors these nanowires not only transport electric current along their axis but also can very efficiently emit light. more …
