MIT researchers have developed a new method for designing 3D structures that can be transformed from a flat configuration ...

When active filaments are exposed to localized illumination, they accumulate into stable structures along the boundaries of the illuminated area. Based on this fact, researchers developed a model that ...

Proteins consist of amino acids, which are linked to form long amino acid chains as specified by our genetic material. In our cells, these chains are not simply rolled up like strings of pearls, but ...
