In a world-first achievement, scientists have developed a new hydrogel whose properties are dominated by electrostatic repulsion, rather than attractive interactions. In a world-first achievement ...
In a world-first achievement, scientists from the RIKEN Center for Emergent Matter Science in Japan, along with colleagues from the National Institute of Material Science and the University of Tokyo, ...
You've probably seen videos showing characters walking through walls like ghosts. Upon closer inspection, atoms consist of a vast majority of empty space. So why is physical reality ...
A newly created material withstands vertical loads applied in the direction perpendicular to its layers while distorting in the horizontal direction. It is promising as a vibration-damping material. A ...
Without Mg 2+ ions, the negatively charged nucleosome fiber is stretched by electrostatic repulsion (left). Mg 2+ can eliminate the repulsion and promote nucleosome-nucleosome binding (center) and ...
In many viruses, DNA is confined at such high density that its bending rigidity and electrostatic self-repulsion present a strong energy barrier in viral assembly. Therefore, a powerful molecular ...
