Protein molecular structure dictates the rigidity of amyloid nanofibrils
Researchers from the FOM Institute AMOLF have shown that the mechanical rigidity of amyloid nanofibrils depends on the molecular folding of the protein building block. Fibrils of the same chemical composition become 40 times...read more »
Water molecules as efficient infrared antennae
Water molecules on the surface of a water mass exchange energy with each other extremely rapidly. Researchers from the FOM Institute AMOLF observed this with a new spectroscopic technique they have developed.read more »
Water on the surface moves surprisingly fast
Water molecules at the surface of a water mass rotate far faster than water molecules within it. This unexpected result was observed by researchers from the FOM Institute AMOLF and the University of Amsterdam, who filmed the...read more »
