Unexpected beauty, major antimicrobial power boost as phages form into surprising flower shapes

Researchers who work with bacteriophages — viruses that eat bacteria — had a pleasant and potentially very important surprise after treating samples to view under an electron microscope: they had joined together into three-dimensional shapes that look like sunflowers, but only two-tenths of a millimetre across, taking a form that makes them 100 times more […]

New strategy unlocks magnetic switching with hydrogen bonding at molecular level

A research team has successfully developed a new approach to create switchable magnetic materials by using hydrogen bonding at the molecular level. This groundbreaking study shows how certain metal complexes, previously unresponsive to external stimuli, can now exhibit sharp and complete magnetic transitions by introducing chiral hydrogen bonds.
