Conditions can get rough in the micro- and nanoworld. To ensure that e.g. nutrients can still be optimally transported within cells, the #minuscule #transporters involved need to respond to the fluctuating environment.

Researchers created particle-like so-called “vortex knots” inside chiral nematic liquid crystals, a twisted fluid similar to those used in #LCD screens. For the first time, these knots are stable and could be reversibly switched between different knotted forms, using electric pulses to fuse and split them.

The researchers grew #diamond films through #microwave #plasma #chemical vapor deposition, or MPCVD, a technique that uses gas to create a solid coating: Methane and hydrogen gases were fed into a chamber where microwave radiation energized the atoms into a hot plasma state.

As global #electric #vehicle adoption accelerates, end-of-life #battery packs are quickly becoming a major waste stream. #Lithium is costly to mine and refine, and most current #recycling methods are energy- and chemical-intensive, often producing lithium carbonate that must be further processed into lithium hydroxide for reuse.

Years of making molecular visualizations taught me a hard truth: the prettiest images are often the least accurate. Vibrant rainbows, distorted scales, over‑simplified structures, or non‑color‑blind‑friendly palettes can mislead. I now put function first, then form—clarity over flash. What visualization pitfalls have you run into? 🎨🔬

Three failed MD runs later, I’m reminded that “failures” are data too. Careful notes, small wins, and a supportive lab turned log gibberish into new directions. How do you stay motivated when experiments derail? Anyone using failure logs to guide hypotheses?

When machine learning is used to suggest new potential scientific insights or directions, algorithms sometimes offer solutions that are not physically sound. Take for example AlphaFold, the #AI system that predicts the complex ways in which amino acid chains will fold into 3D #protein structures.

A new strategy based on #stem cell therapy that could enhance neuronal regeneration and #neuroplasticity when this vital organ is damaged. The results reveal that the use of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), combined with stem cell-based cell therapies, could help in the treatment of #neurodegenerative diseases or #brain injuries.

The precise addition of a single silver (Ag) #atom can dramatically transform the light-emitting properties of high-nuclear Ag #nanoclusters (NCs). The study reports a remarkable 77-fold increase in #photoluminescence (PL) #quantum yield (QY) at room temperature - a milestone that paves the way for practical applications in #optoelectronics and #sensing technologies.

From micro to macro: a trip from the assembly of #collagen to the formation of bone tissue. This image represents the work of Giulia Giubertoni and colleagues at the University of Amsterdam, revealing the crucial role of water in determining the mechanical properties of collagen. Exciting findings which can significantly improve our understanding of the molecular roots of tissue dysfunction diseases, such as #OsteogenesisImperfecta.
