Water trapped inside tiny molecular cavities behaves in a surprisingly energetic way, pushing outward like people crammed in an elevator. When a new molecule enters these narrow spaces, the confined ...

Moreover, advances in polymer mechanochemistry have demonstrated that ultrasound-induced shear forces can drive selective molecular bond cleavage to activate drugs only when needed. Due to these ...

Infrared spectroscopy (IR spectroscopy) is an optical technique that detects molecular bond vibrations and rotations upon absorption of infrared light. Because different chemical functional groups ...
