A system is a collection of connected components. Chemical processes are complex systems comprising unit operations that are connected via flows and phenomena (such as reactions, phase equilibria and ...
Common in nature and found in DNA and amino acids, chiral molecules are asymmetric with a structure that’s different from its mirror image. Chiral amino acids are “left-handed” and cannot be swapped ...
In their quest to discover effective new medicines, scientists search for drug-like molecules that can attach to disease-causing proteins and change their functionality. It is crucial that they know ...
Lasers are used to carry out functions ranging from reading a bar code label at the grocery store to shooting down enemy missiles in space. Now, chemists at Purdue University are using lasers to coax ...
On a Saturday afternoon in the fall of 2021, Silvio Decurtins was leafing through a paper with a title that could have been pulled from a comic book for mathematically inclined teens: “Plato’s Cube ...
This study develops forces equilibrium differential equations for the geometric modeling of 1D flexible objects with surface constraints. These second-order equations are an extension of the Cosserat ...
