you should understand what follows:
In a forced game of molecular tug-of
war, some strings of atoms can act like a lever, accelerating reactions 1000
times faster than other molecules. The discovery suggests that scientists
could use these molecular levers to drive chemical and mechanical reactivity
among atoms and ultimately engineer more efficient materials.

geometric and topological analyses of micro-materials, University of
Massachusetts Amherst mathematician Robert Kusner aided experimental
physicists at the University of Colorado (UC) by successfully explaining the
observed "beautiful and complex patterns revealed" in three-dimensional
liquid crystal experiments. The work is expected to lead to creation of new
materials that can be actively controlled.
As it is for humans, zinc is
essential for a wide range of basic cellular processes. Zinc-binding
proteins, primarily located in the cell nucleus, are involved in the
regulation of gene transcription.
