The key advances toward atomically precise manufacturing will be based on atomically precise structures – structures built with every atom bonded in place according to a plan – and chemists and their colleagues in the molecular sciences have been at the forefront of this technology for more than a century.
Recent rapid progress in the molecular sciences have revealed new genetic mechanisms of evolution, and introduced new controversies of interpretation.
In the last decade, molecular science has made many advances to benefit medicine, including the Human Genome project, International HapMap project and genome wide association studies (GWASs) (International HapMap Consortium, 2005).
Yet in the last 20 years, advances in genetics and molecular science have made it impossible to ignore the evidence that biology has at least some impact on how people behave and have made the discussion of genetic influences more widely accepted.
Advances in molecular science have launched a new era in the taxonomy of species identification, even with a bit of biological sample which, sometimes, is not possible to identify using conventional morphological methods.
Molecular surface science has greatly contributed to the advancement of nanofabrication technology by providing ideal platforms for engineering surfaces on a molecular level [13 18].
Molecular imaging science has been focused on imaging guidance in the areas of targeting epigenetic abnormalities and disease microenvironment in overcoming resistance in diseases.
Molecular imaging science has been focused on imaging guidance in the areas of targeting epigenetic abnormalities and tumor microenvironment in overcoming resistance in cancers.
An appreciation for the importance of Zn in molecular biology, structural biology, and nutritional sciences has grown rapidly over the past 15 years (Berg and Shi 1996).
The rapid progress and potential applications of molecular life science have profound implications, not only on our scientific understanding, but also on our future health and prosperity.
