Researchers have developed a new material that could help to remove unwanted pollutants — including leftover medicines and ...

Molecular cages with nanosized cavities have attracted much interest in recent years, in part because of the unusual chemistry that can be studied within their confines. Rigid and directional ...

In service of this goal, a trio of researchers has used machine learning to design a way to remove molecules inside a molecular cage. Their study is published in Physical Review Letters.

The research, published in the journal Cell Reports Physical Science, describes a new method using a molecular structure called a metal-organic cage (MOC). These tiny cages act like traps designed to ...

Scientists have created molecular cages within a polymer to trap harmful sulphur dioxide pollution in order to transform it into useful compounds and reduce waste and emissions. A unique new material ...

Being able to demonstrate capture of established wastewater pollutants in water is thus a step towards the application of these cages for real-world applications. Jack Wright, a Researcher at The ...

By mimicking the specificity observed in biological systems, these low-symmetry coordination cages can offer new insights into molecular recognition and pave the way for their future applications ...

Our ChemSci Pick of the Week uses chiral cages to guide the formation of non-covalent molecular complexes, working in a similar way to enzymes in nature. To run an analogy, imagine the end result if a ...
