Molecular vibration
A molecular vibration is an oscillatory motion of a molecule's atoms about their equilibrium positions, absorbing infrared light at characteristic frequencies that serve as molecular fingerprints.
Molecular walker
A molecular walker is a molecule or assembly that moves along a track by sequentially binding and releasing feet, keeping at least one foot attached at all times.
Molecular water oxidation catalysis
Molecular water oxidation catalysis is the study of soluble metal complexes that accelerate water oxidation to oxygen, the four-electron bottleneck of artificial photosynthesis and water splitting.
Molecular weaving
Molecular weaving is the regular entanglement of flexible molecular strands into 2D fabrics or 3D networks with long-range order, the nanoscale counterpart of textile weaving.
Molecular weight distribution
Molecular weight distribution (MWD) is the set of relative amounts of polymer chains of each molecular weight in a sample, described by averages such as number- and weight-average molar mass.
Molecular-beam epitaxy
Molecular-beam epitaxy (MBE) is a physical vapor deposition technique that grows crystalline thin films from atomic beams in ultra-high vacuum, with layer control at the monolayer level.
Molecular-era lichen taxonomy (2001–present)
Molecular-era lichen taxonomy is the reshaping of lichen classification by DNA sequence data since 2001, showing that genera defined by morphology often do not match evolutionary trees.
Molecular-frame photoelectron angular distribution
The molecular-frame photoelectron angular distribution (MFPAD) describes photoelectron emission in coordinates fixed to the molecule, avoiding orientation averaging and probing photoionization dynamics, bond lengths, and emission time delays.
Molecularly imprinted solid phase extraction
Molecularly imprinted solid phase extraction (MISPE) is a sample preparation technique using synthetic polymers with template-shaped cavities to selectively extract trace analytes from complex samples before chromatographic analysis.
Molecule
A molecule is an electrically neutral group of more than one atom held together by covalent chemical bonds, a discrete unit distinct from the extended lattices of ionic compounds.
Molecule Heart
Molecule Heart (分子之心) is a Chinese AI protein design startup founded in 2022 by Xu Jinbo. It has raised RMB 1.515 billion and develops the MoleculeOS platform.
Molecule Man
Molecule Man (Owen Reece) is a Marvel Comics character created by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby, debuting in Fantastic Four #20 (November 1963). A Brooklyn lab technician given molecule-controlling, reality-warping power by a Beyonders-related accident, he is central to the Secret Wars events of 1984 and 2015.
MoleculeNet
MoleculeNet is a benchmark suite for molecular machine learning, introduced in 2017 by the Pande Lab at Stanford. It curates 17 public datasets with standard metrics and splits, distributed through the DeepChem library.
Molenbeek-Saint-Jean
Molenbeek-Saint-Jean (Sint-Jans-Molenbeek), a Brussels-Capital Region commune, postal code 1080. Former 'Little Manchester' industrial suburb; Charleroi Canal 1832, first continental passenger train 1835; about 95,000 residents.
Moleskin
Moleskin (molskinn) is a heavy, densely woven cotton fustian fabric, satin or twill weave, sheared and brushed on one side for a suede-like nap resembling mole fur; no mole skin is used. Historic European workwear, military, and country-clothing cloth.
Moleskine
Moleskine is an Italian stationery brand headquartered in Milan, created in 1997 by the publisher Modo&Modo to relaunch the plain black notebook described by Bruce Chatwin, and owned since 2016 by the Belgian D'Ieteren Group.
Molesworth (Martian crater)
Molesworth is a 181-km-diameter impact crater on Mars at 27.42°S, 149.10°E in the Aeolis quadrangle, IAU-approved in 1973 and named after astronomer Percy B. Molesworth.
Molex
Molex, also known as Molex Incorporated, is an American manufacturer of electronic connectors and cable assemblies, founded in 1938 and owned by Koch since 2013.
Molex connector
A Molex connector, also known as a Molex plug, is the 4-pin peripheral power connector delivering +12 V and +5 V to disk drives, fans, and other internal PC peripherals.
MolFormer
MoLFormer is a large-scale chemical language model developed at IBM that encodes molecules as SMILES strings using linear attention, pretrained on about 1.1 billion unlabelled molecules from PubChem and ZINC.
MolGAN
MolGAN is a generative adversarial model that creates small molecular graphs directly, introduced by Nicola De Cao and Thomas Kipf in 2018; it reaches 98.1% chemically valid output but suffers from mode collapse.
Molgramostim
Molgramostim (Molgradex, Leucomax) is an E. coli-derived recombinant human GM-CSF, inhaled 300 µg daily for autoimmune pulmonary alveolar proteinosis; positive IMPALA and IMPALA-2 trials, not FDA-approved.
Molicel
Molicel is the brand name of E-One Moli Energy Corporation, a Taiwanese manufacturer of high-power cylindrical lithium-ion cells, part of Taiwan Cement Group, serving eVTOL aircraft, drones, and data centers.
Molière
Molière (Jean-Baptiste Poquelin, 1622–1673), French actor, troupe leader, and comic playwright; author of Tartuffe, Le Misanthrope, and Le Bourgeois gentilhomme; director of the King's Troupe under Louis XIV; French is called his language.
Molière (Mercurian crater)
Molière (Moliere) is a 132-km-diameter impact crater on Mercury, centered near 15.6°N, 16.9°W, cataloged as Gazetteer feature ID 3954 and approved by the IAU's WGPSN.
Molière (musician)
Molière, the stage name of Ogou Maxime, is an Ivorian zouglou singer and songwriter born in Abidjan in the early 1980s, known as the zouglou lyricist.
