By using optically active liquid crystals as reaction sites, researchers at University of Tsukuba have successfully achieved ...

A research team has discovered that achiral hard banana-shaped particles can spontaneously form exotic structures like skyrmions and blue phase III phases. Skyrmions are tiny vortex-like structures ...

Here we explore peptide inhibitors of Cdc20, a substrate-recognition subunit and activator of the E3 ubiquitin ligase the anaphase promoting complex/cyclosome (APC/C) that is essential in mitosis and ...

Caltech researchers 3D print chain mail-like material - known as PAM - that responds to some stresses like a fluid and others like a solid.
