Called a landmark discovery, scientists create a molecule with an unprecedented electronic pattern that revolutionizes ...

COLUMBUS, Ohio — Chemists have calculated the structure of a very unusual molecule, one whose hyperactive atoms have earned it the nickname “the scrambler.” This highly caustic “protonated methane,” ...

Chemists have developed a light-driven method for producing a rare and highly strained molecular structure known as “housane.” Designing a new drug often starts with a basic but difficult task: making ...

An international team of scientists from IBM, The University of Manchester, Oxford University, ETH Zurich, EPFL and the University of Regensburg have created and characterized a molecule unlike any ...

When molecules fall apart, their electric charge doesn't stay put—it rearranges as bonds stretch and break. An international team of scientists has now tracked these ultrafast changes in the small ...

A newly isolated three-atom aluminum ring reveals unexpected chemistry that could help replace costly metals used in ...

By placing single-atom-thick adlayers of p-block metals on commonly employed gold electrodes (d-block), a research team at ...

Scientists created half-Möbius molecules, similar to the Möbius strips common in math classes, but half as twisty. It’s a ...

This, in turn, altered the configuration of the orbitals to achieve the half-Möbius configuration that the researchers were ...
