Furthermore, this new phenomenon has been shown to depend on the binding partner, being the optimized molecular architecture of a binding partner critical for water - mediated effective binding. (sciencedaily.com)
Before the group's discovery, crystalline carbon was thought to adopt only a handful of different molecular architectures, including those found in diamond and graphite. (sciencemag.org)
Because of their unique branchlike molecular architecture, the polymers have unusual physical properties and could be used in a wide range of applications, from biodegradable capsules for delivering drugs to new industrial lubricants. (newscientist.com)
