Exclusion processes and molecular motor dynamics form a vibrant field at the interface of statistical physics and cellular biophysics. At its core, the framework of exclusion processes offers a means ...

This Ben Feringa, Jacobus van 't Hoff Distinguished Professor of Molecular Sciences at the Straingh Insitute for Chemistry, University of Groningen (the Netherlands). The first motor molecule was ...

Researchers are using molecular motors as a new tool for medical intervention to target and destroy cancer cells. (Nanowerk News) Imagine tiny machines, smaller than a virus, spinning inside cancer ...

Physicists from the Universities of Bayreuth and Grenoble have discovered a new mechanism of cell mobility. Their findings challenge the classical dogma that the molecular motor myosin is essential ...

Researchers used a light-driven molecular motor to wind two molecular strands into an interlocked ring structure called a catenane, without forming chemical bonds. (Nanowerk News) Threads or ropes can ...

Professor Jiawen Chen and Associate Researcher Yan Wang from South China Normal University, in collaboration with Professor Ben L. Feringa's team at the University of Groningen, Netherlands, designed ...
