Molecular Machines Can be Manipulated with Minimal Mechanical Energy

NIMS MANA researchers found that molecular machines can be easily manipulated using very small mechanical energy, taking advantage of the property that they aggregate on the surface of water. This study was published in the online version of the German Chemical Society’s journal “Angewandte Chemie International Edition” on June 12, 2015. (D. Ishikawa, T. Mori, Y. Yonamine, W.

New Insights into Nanoscale ’Swarms’ of Actin Filaments

"Flocking" or "swarming" behavior is omnipresent in the living world, observed in birds, fish, and even bacteria. Strikingly similar collective action can also be seen in biomolecules within and between cells. Such self-organization processes are the basis of life - without them no living cell would exist - yet they are not well understood.
