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

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 has created a molecule unlike any previously known, demonstrating how quantum computing ...

Thanks to the alternating single-double nature of the bonds, electrons in these orbitals end up delocalized; the differences between the bonds become a bit irrelevant, and the molecule is best viewed ...

Radiative association processes are fundamental mechanisms underpinning the formation of molecules in diverse astronomical environments. In these processes, two reacting particles—typically atoms or ...

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

The formation of stars is intricately linked to the complex structure and dynamics of molecular clouds—vast, cold, and dense regions in the interstellar medium that primarily consist of molecular ...

Long before stars lit up the sky, the universe was a hot, dense place where simple chemistry quietly set the stage for everything to come. Scientists have now recreated the first molecule ever to form ...

Researchers have directly observed organic hydrotrioxides forming in Earth’s atmosphere, confirming the existence of a class of potent oxidizing molecules that scientists had predicted for decades but ...

Scientists have identified a new property, interface flexibility, that controls how certain molecules naturally self-organize into crystalline supramolecular networks. This significant discovery could ...

A Florida State University chemist has developed a method to rapidly assemble significantly complex natural molecules with potential for biomedical applications, opening the door for novel drug ...
