Novel protein cage system can control and visualize orientational changes in aromatic side chains upon ligand binding, as reported by researchers at Institute of Science Tokyo. By inducing coordinated molecular changes, this approach enables precise control over protein dynamics while also enhancing fluorescence properties. Their breakthrough could lead to applications in biomolecular robotics, drug delivery, and advancing the development of responsive biomaterials.

In a recent issue of the International Journal of Extreme Manufacturing, Hongbo Lan and his team from Qingdao University of Technology published a review article on multi-nozzle electrohydrodynamic (EHD) printing.

Multi-nozzle EHD printing is poised to become the most promising technology for the industrial production of micro/nano-scale devices on flexible substrates. Their work provides a comprehensive summary of nearly 20 years of research on this technology, establishing a solid foundation for the industrial fabrication of flexible nanodevices.

POSTECH Research Team Develops Ultra-Photostable Organic Fluorescent Molecule (PF555) to Unveil the Secrets of Intracellular Proteins.

Using the Frontier supercomputer at the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory, researchers have developed a new technique that predicts nuclear properties in record detail. The study revealed how the structure of a nucleus relates to the force that holds it together. This understanding could advance efforts in quantum physics and across a variety of sectors, from to energy production to national security.

Penn physicist Randall Kamien, visiting scholar Lauren Niu, and collaborator Geneviève Dion of Drexel bring unprecedented levels of predictability to the ancient practice of knitting by developing a mathematical model that could be used to create a new class of lightweight, ultra-strong materials.
