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 ...

Plucking gold metal out of ores and electronic waste could get more environmentally friendly, thanks to some sweet supramolecular chemistry. Chemists have discovered that α-cyclodextrin, an ...

Biannual meeting of chemists working in the field of cyclodextrin chemistry. Sessions will comprise Organic and Analytical Chemistry, Polymer and Colloidal Chemistry, Material Science and Medicinal ...

Polymer membranes potentially offer a more sustainable way to separate chemical mixtures, compared with energy-intensive distillation or expensive chromatography. During organic solvent nanofiltration ...

Research demonstrates how a hydrazone template can replace energy-intensive distillation to produce and isolate gamma-cyclodextrin -- a water-soluble chemical that attracts other molecules and is used ...

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 -- ...
