Scientists have developed a new way to watch how individual atoms inside a molecule behave after the molecule absorbs light, ...

Progress in chemistry is often gradual, with some of its most important advances taking years—sometimes decades—to unfold. A ...

Nitrenes are the ghosts of synthetic chemistry, formed in an instant and gone just as quickly, rearranging into something ...

A nerve cell resembles a vast tree with branches that communicate with thousands of other cells. To function, it depends on a ...

Driving an electric current through a molecule can create a magnetic field. Yet in practice, such fields are often too weak ...

The HS-I, CS-I, and CS-II structures of hydrate correspond to the Z, A15, and C15 phases of the Frank-Kasper phase, respectively. With the discovery of HS-I, the primitive structures at the three ...

Scientists have developed a new way to build tiny sulfur-containing molecules that could help create faster, more efficient, ...

A study published in Nature Physics provides new molecular-level evidence from simulations that liquid water is not a single uniform substance, but a constantly shifting mixture of two distinct ...

Researchers have created a precise molecular synthesis method enabling tailored organic semiconductor structures, potentially ...
