Self-assembly of a molecular piston

A French and Chinese collaboration has designed a molecular piston that self-assembles to form a complex stable enough that disassembly is very slow compared to the sliding motion of the piston.

Protein folding is a quantum transition

Chinese scientists demonstrate that protein folding is a quantum transition between torsion states on a polypeptide chain.
