- A 2-nanometer-high Solomon's knot
- UCLA chemists have built a molecular Solomons knot at the nanoscale. The Solomons knot is composed of two rings that interlace each other four times, with alternating crossing points that go over, under, over and under as one traces around each of the rings. This nano-version is roughly 2 nanometers...

- The moleculator gets a keypad lock
- For your information, a moleculator is simply a molecular scale calculator, or a molecular system which can perform logic and arithmetic operations. Now, LiveScience reports in a brief article that chemists at the Weizmann Institute of Science in Israel have developed a molecule-size keypad lock. This lock is based on...

- Why James Bond looks so healthy
- According to The Telegraph, shaken martinis might be the secret of Bond's success. In fact, two UK researchers, a psychologist and a chemist, are collaborating with a French bartender to prove that 'shaken, not stirred' martinis are different. They'll show the difference on June 4, 2008, during the Cheltenham Science...

- Shooting movies of molecules
- Scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy's DOE Argonne National Laboratory have developed techniques for creating movies of biological and chemical molecules. It has been done before for crystalline structures of salt or metals, but organic molecules are more complex, and more difficult to catch. Until now, researchers had to...

- Wikinomics 3: Ideagoras
- The more I read of Wikinomics, the more it's borne upon me that I can't do it justice in a dozen short articles. I'd originally hoped to "read Wikinomics so you don't have to," but I'm afraid I've been persuaded that that's hubris. I now think of myself as an...
