Imagine a microscopic locomotive moving back and forth along a track, propelling itself without any external force. At the molecular level, this concept forms the foundation of molecular motors -- ...

Beta-cyclodextrin remains the most widely produced and commercially used form, largely because of its favorable cavity size, relatively low production cost, and well-documented safety profile.

Cyclodextrin glycosyltransferase (CGTase) is a critical enzyme used for converting starch into cyclodextrins, cyclic oligosaccharides with unique inner cavities that are highly valued in the food, ...

The molecule itself has been the subject of studies for its potential PFAS removal abilities. “Sometimes, we have a nanopore fabricated and then we use cyclodextrin as our model molecule to see if the ...

The Nature Index 2025 Research Leaders — previously known as Annual Tables — reveal the leading institutions and countries/territories in the natural and health sciences, according to their output in ...

(Nanowerk News) Exploiting an ingenious combination of photochemical (i.e., light-induced) reactions and self-assembly processes, a team led by Prof. Alberto Credi of the University of Bologna has ...

Fast-scanning atomic force microscopy imaging of the molecule at two different time points shows positional shifts along the polymer chain on the left. On the right, the molecular structure of PEG ...
