Sporopollenin is a mechanically robust and chemically inert biopolymer that constitutes the outer protective exine layer of plant spores and pollen grains. Recent investigation of the molecular structure of pine…
In this paper, we describe the use of weakly interacting DNA linkages to assemble nanoparticles into defined clusters. Gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) were synthesized and functionalized with thiol modified single-stranded DNA…

Despite the high promise, the commercialization of Li-metal-based batteries has been hampered due to the formation of dendrites that lead to mechanical instability, energy loss and eventual internal short circuits.…
The unprecedented global health threat of SARS-CoV-2 has sparked a continued interest to discover novel anti-COVID-19 agents. To this end, we present here a computer-based protocol for identifying potential compounds…
Developing highly complex molecules is of great significance in science and technology. Here we present an unprecedented type of dendrimer assembled from linear ABB-type monomer. The construction of this nontraditional…
Generative models are frequently used for de novo design in drug discovery projects to propose new molecules. However, the question of whether or not the generated molecules can be synthesized…
The scale of the parameter optimisation problem in traditional molecular mechanics force field construction means that design of a new force field is a long process, and sub-optimal choices made…
Despite the development of nonfullerene acceptors (NFAs) that have made a breakthrough in the photovoltaic performance, large-scale preparation of NFAs that is prerequisite for commercial application has never been explored.…
The core of the origin-of-life problem is to explain how a complex dissipative system could emerge spontaneously from a simple environment, perpetuate itself, and complexify over time. This would only…
