Researchers Visualize Nano-Sized Gateways That Control Activity of Mitochondrial Battery

Mitochondria are often referred to as the powerhouses of our cells, because they generate chemical energy similar to that obtained from a battery. Whether it's a brain, muscle or plant cell, nano-sized gateways control the activity of the mitochondrial battery, by carefully allowing certain proteins and other molecules to enter into our mitochondria. Some of these proteins are large and complex molecules, yet they are essentially "spirited" into from the cytoplasm into the mitochondria, while the mitochondrial membrane remains water-tight and intact. How this happens has confounded science for decades.

Study on Porous Polymers Demonstrates How Chemistry Plays Key Role in Materials Science

Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) are a class of porous polymers that enable the atomically precise incorporation of organic units into periodic structures, creating highly ordered ð-columnar arrays and one-dimensional open channels. One significant structural feature is that they can be predesigned at both primary and high-order structure levels. COFs have emerged as a platform for materials design and functional explorations. However, their low stability has been impeded any practical implementations.

Researchers Develop Nanowalker that Moves Across Carpet of DNA Strands

Nanotechnology is taking its first steps. Researchers from the Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems in Stuttgart have developed a gold nanocylinder equipped with discrete DNA strands as ‘feet’ that can walk across a DNA origami platform. They are able to trace the movements of the nanowalker, which is smaller than the optical resolution limit, by exciting plasmons in the gold nanocylinder.
