Scientists have developed a method to improve the stability and efficiency of organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs), a technology used in smartphones, TVs, and other electronic displays. This ...

Building on the role of human intuition in small molecule drug design, we explored whether crowdsourcing could recruit citizen scientists to this task while in parallel building awareness for this ...

Over the past several decades, light sources have gradually transitioned to light-emitting diodes, or LEDs, and inorganic LEDs are now used across a wide range of applications. In parallel, organic ...

Ten boron atoms in one molecule squeeze its light into an ultra-narrow band, boosting OLED color purity for sharper, truer ...

Chemists have engineered a new molecule that can help organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) produce purer colors, potentially ...

Researchers at The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) have achieved two major breakthroughs in ...

The design of small-molecule–binding proteins with high affinity and specificity is of considerable interest. For example, biosensors and switches that undergo conformational changes upon ligand ...

Chemists have achieved a new feat in the realm of chemical design and synthesis: They've helped create the first example of a synthetic molecule, with an asymmetric oxygen atom as its centerpiece, ...

However, the journey to harness the full potential of nanopores has been fraught with challenges. One of the most persistent issues has been the difficulty in capturing and controlling the movement of ...

Every time a new cancer drug is announced, it represents hundreds of researchers spending years behind the scenes working to design and test a new molecule. The drug has to be not only effective, but ...
