An electric current enters a screw-shaped molecule suspended between two fine gold tips. The passing electrons set the ...

Now, scientists have built a version so small that its moving part consists of a single molecule. Instead of pumping water, this molecular screw spins when electricity passes through it. As it rotates ...

When electronics need to stretch, bend or flex, like a wearable sensor or a shape-changing robot, liquid metal often carries ...

Molecular machines are regarded as the next step in miniaturization. Their models can be found in living cells, where ...

Researchers have experimentally demonstrated, for the first time, that it is possible to obtain from an altermagnet a spin ...

The battery as we know it today was an invention of Italian chemist and physicist Alessandro Volta. He witnessed electricity splitting water into its constituent elements of oxygen and hydrogen and ...
