A key objective of ongoing research rooted in molecular physics is to understand and precisely control chemical reactions at ...

SYNTHETIC ion-exchange resins of the sulphonated polystyrene type consist essentially of a cross-linked hydrocarbon skeleton to which the functional groups (nuclear sulphonic acid residues ...

Hearing begins with the stretching of elastic molecular 'springs' that open ion channels in the sensory hair cells of the ear. For decades, researchers have known that these gating springs must ...
