Water molecules are so attracted to each other that even after the balloon pops, the water molecules stay together keeping the shape of the balloon. The circles in this drawing represent water ...

Scientists in the UK have investigated the phenomenon of shape-selectivity in shape-shifting molecules – molecules that adopt different configurations depending on their environment. Most synthetic ...

This is due to the shape of the molecule. Water molecules are polar molecules. Both of the bonds inside the molecule are polar bonds. Due to the non-symmetrical shape of the molecule (bent), the ...

Advances in nanotechnology are often inspired by designs found in nature. Tiny molecules that can change their shape in response to stimuli and swim through the body, mimicking bacteria ...
