In a striking demonstration of molecular control, a team of scientists has harnessed light to reverse the twist in self-assembling molecules. The study identifies how trace residual aggregates in ...

Figure 1: Model of Spir and Cappuccino cooperation in actin nucleation/polymerization. Together these findings establish actin nucleation by multiple WH2 domains as a general mechansim.

NUCLEATION of freezing in supercooled liquids by cavitation has been ascribed to a momentary large increase in the degree of supercooling, induced by the high transient pressures generated by a ...

The researchers explicitly investigated the so-called crystal nucleation rate J(T). This is a measure of the probability that a crystal will form in a certain volume within a certain time.

Kate Queeney is a physical chemist who specializes in the chemistry that takes place on solid surfaces. Her lab is exploring the combined effects of surface chemistry and surface nanotopography on the ...

Researchers from Osaka University find that peristaltic pump action and high shear flow forces promote amyloid nucleation. The factor that tips you over the edge from being at risk for a disease ...
