Scientists have deciphered the genetic code that instructs proteins to either self-assemble or disassemble in response to environmental stimuli, such as changes in temperature, salinity or acidity.

Intelligent fasteners in airbags consist of shape-memory alloys that return to a predetermined form when heated to a specific temperature. Chips embedded in the fasteners have individual addresses and ...

Researchers from Tohoku University and Kyoto University have successfully developed a DNA-based molecular controller that autonomously directs the assembly and disassembly of molecular robots. This ...

Duke University scientists have figured out the genetic code that instructs proteins to either self-assemble or disassemble in response to environmental stimuli, such as changes in temperature, ...

Scientists have deciphered the genetic code that instructs proteins to either self-assemble or disassemble in response to environmental stimuli, such as changes in temperature, salinity or acidity.

Exact part location and minimal clearances seem like the Holy Grail of precision mechanical systems. But insisting on the slimmest tolerances can make assembly and disassembly difficult. Assembly ...

Using two-colour imaging and high resolution TIRF microscopy, we investigated the assembly and maturation of nascent adhesions in migrating cells. We show that nascent adhesions assemble and are ...
