One of the hallmarks of Alzheimer's disease is the clumping of proteins called Tau, which form tangled fibrils in the brain.

MIT chemists used NMR spectroscopy to reveal the disordered “fuzzy coat” surrounding Tau protein fibrils, offering new ...

A new research effort is accelerating imaging techniques to visualize structures of small molecules clearly -- a process once thought impossible. Their discovery unleashes endless potential in ...

The nearly 30-year tale of secalosides A and B began in 1997, when natural product chemists identified them as components of ...

This hands-on course teaches step-by-step techniques for interpreting mass spectrometric data to identify molecular structures. Participants will learn elemental composition analysis, tandem MS ...

SPaDe-CSP first predicts most probable space groups and crystal densities using machine learning and then employs an efficient neural network potential for structure refinement. Prediction of crystal ...

Scientists have developed molecular devices that can switch roles, behaving as memory, logic, or learning elements within the same structure. The breakthrough comes from precise chemical design that ...

Efforts to build a better digital “nose” suggest that our perception of scents reflects both the structure of aromatic molecules and the metabolic processes that make them. Alex Wiltschko began ...

Icebergs float on water because the underlying liquid water has a higher density than the iceberg. Liquid water itself has its highest density at 4°C—one of the so-called anomalies of water, i.e.
