Molecular Quotes

You don't have to be extremely precise about the exact placement of the stamps as long as you apply the molecular inks in order of their bonding strengths. - Paul S. Weiss

You can find academic and industrial groups doing some relevant work, but there isn't a focus on building complex molecular systems. In that respect, Japan is first, Europe is second, and we're third. - K. Eric Drexler

With this crystal structure, we've learned that Dicer serves as a molecular ruler, with a clamp at one end and a cleaver at the other end a set distance away, that produces RNA fragments of an ideal size for gene-silencing. - Jennifer Doudna

With the completion of the human genome, and the numerous recent discoveries in molecular and cell biology, exciting new approaches to diagnose and treat diseases are rapidly being investigated. - Mark Kelley

When children's minds are open to new ideas and concepts at the age of six, they could be taught the basics of molecular structure, how Oxygen and Hydrogen and Carbon join up to make ever-day substances. By the age of 14, their minds are already doubtful of new ideas which suggest something fundamentally different to what they know, and they can no longer be inspired into exploring science. - Johnny Ball

What's been gratifying is to live long enough to see molecular biology and evolutionary biology growing toward each other and uniting in research efforts. - E. O. Wilson

What we will see in 10 to 20 years is that this award was a tipping point for 'green' chemistry (the environmentally friendly use of chemicals). At the fundamental molecular level, we can meet environmental and economic goals at the same time. - Paul Anastas

What we see strongly suggests that the magnetic field is indeed helical. If it is so, then this tells us a lot about the role magnetic fields might play in molecular clouds and star formation. It would be a major piece of evidence in trying to solve this mystery of how stars form. - Timothy Robishaw

We need to understand why younger women are more likely to get the disease, why there are molecular differences in lung cancer between men and women, and why there are treatment differences between men and women. - Regina Vidaver
