Chemical and biological physics

The method is based on the superpolarization of the hydrogen nuclei in water molecules at a temperature close to absolute zero and then sprinkling them on biological molecules under physiological conditions

The scientists demonstrated the new method on sulfur oxide molecules consisting of two oxygen atoms and one sulfur atom. These molecules have an axis determined by the oxygen atoms, and perpendicular to it is the sulfur atom. Courtesy of the Weizmann Institute

Different types of traction forces led to the appearance of a different directional order in the vascular networks: a vertical order for the dynamic-cyclic traction forces (right) or a parallel order for the static traction forces (left)

This is how the capillaries grow

Illustration of the system in which the experiment was performed: a molecular junction based on a hydrogen molecule hanging as a sort of bridge between two electronic contacts. It is, in fact, the smallest electronic device that can be built today. Illustration: Weizmann Institute

When an ant approaches a food item, it feels the forces exerted by the other ants carrying it, and accordingly decides whether it should pull the item or pick it up

The scientists took advantage of the fact that chirality affects an electron property called "spin", which is characterized by two states - "spin up" and "spin down" - similar to the spinning of a spinning top clockwise or counterclockwise. Illustration: Prof. Ron Naaman, Weizmann Institute
