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

Researchers at the University of Jyväskylä (Finland) have developed a new class of synthetic molecules that can capture sulfate, a widespread industrial and environmental contaminant, with ...

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 ...

A ring of 13 carbon atoms and two chlorine atoms has a remarkable molecular structure that means you would have to go around the loop four times to return to your starting position ...

Scientists from Germany, Japan, and India have demonstrated that femtosecond laser pulses can force an entire layer of molecules to rotate in unison on a two-dimensional quantum material, a result ...

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 ...

As 'Starfleet Academy' sets itself on some high stakes for its season one finale, it's returning to one of the most fearsome ideas from 'Trek' past.

Scientists have just created a new, strange type of molecule. It’s made of a bunch of atoms bound together in a ring, like ...

An international team of researchers has synthesized a carbon chain molecule with a never-before-seen electronic twist and ...

A newly designed optical centrifuge allows scientists to control molecular rotation inside superfluid helium nano-droplets.

Many molecules used in medicines have a symmetry known as handedness; they have the same atoms connected in the same order, ...

Coenzyme A, a molecule derived from vitamin B5, is vital for metabolism throughout the body. Scientists discovered that most of it resides inside mitochondria, yet how it reached these cellular ...
