Nov 20, 2020 (Nanowerk News) Industrial biotechnology aims to use microbes, such as bacteria, as miniature factories. These factories would convert molecules, the smallest packages of chemicals, into desirable products. They rely on enzymes, which are proteins that accelerate specific chemical reactions. However, designing, building, and optimizing sets of enzymes...

Nov 20, 2020 (Nanowerk News) The vision of the future of miniaturisation has produced a series of synthetic molecular motors that are driven by a range of energy sources and can carry out various movements. A research group at Friedrich-Alexander-Universitt Erlangen-Nrnberg (FAU) has now managed to control a catalysis reaction...

Nov 20, 2020 (Nanowerk News) Whether in solar cells, in photosynthesis or in the human eye: when light falls on the material, a green leaf or the retina, certain molecules transport energy and charge. This ultimately leads to the separation of charges and the generation of electricity. Molecular funnels, so-called...
