A team of scientists from the University of Saskatchewan, Canada, has recently demonstrated that chemical agents capable of reducing disulfide (S-S) bonds can be potentially used as antiviral drugs ...

Atomically thin semiconductors such as tungsten disulfide (WS2) are promising materials for future photonic technologies.

A single layer of atoms may seem too thin to meaningfully interact with light, yet materials like tungsten disulfide are reshaping what is possible in nanophotonics. Researchers have now found a way ...

The lower hinge of immunoglobulin G (IgG), an overlooked part of the antibody, acts as a structural and functional control hub, according to a study by researchers at Science Tokyo. Deleting a single ...

Researchers at the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus report that they have broken up deadly mucus secretions in the lungs, which can be fatal for asthma patients, at the molecular level ...

A team of engineers at Fudan University has successfully designed, built and run a 32-bit RISC-V microprocessor that uses molybdenum disulfide instead of silicon as its semiconductor component. Their ...

Nanoparticle research has gained momentum in the recent years by virtue of the unexpected outcomes that are possible by altering the atomic and molecular properties of basic elements. This article ...

Iron disulfide is a cubic chemical compound with the formula FeS 2. It is usually found associated with other sulfides or oxides in metamorphic rock, sedimentary rock and quartz veins. It is dark gray ...

Molybdenum disulfide [molybdenum(IV) sulfide, MoS 2] is an inorganic compound that exists in nature in the mineral molybdenite. Its crystals have a hexagonal layered structure (shown) that is similar ...
