The discovery of bright yet stable pigments is vanishingly rare, making them hugely valuable. Now chemist Mas Subramanian is unpicking the atomic code of colour and homing in on our most-wanted hue ...

Snowflakes, nature's tiny artworks, owe their six-sided symmetry to the hexagonal arrangement of water molecules in ice. As they fall through clouds, varying temperatures and humidity dictate their ...

Atoms in molecules occupy fixed positions, connected by rigid rods. A molecule such as formic acid (methanoic acid, HCOOH) is imagined as two-dimensional—flat as a sheet of paper. But quantum physics ...

Formic acid is considered a molecule in which all atoms lie in a single plane. A research team at Goethe University, together with cooperation ...

Reinhard Dörner explains: "In the quantum world, atomic nuclei are not tiny spheres that remain fixed in place. They are more like vibrating clouds. Even if we cool a molecule down to absolute zero, ...

Red blood cells (RBCs), traditionally regarded as passive oxygen carriers, are now recognized as highly dynamic regulators of immune and vascular ...

Researchers from a joint Skoltech and University of Sharjah laboratory and their collaborators from Paris Saclay University, France, have identified biomolecules whose levels in nerve tissue are ...

For more than 50 years, scientists have sought alternatives to silicon for building molecular electronics. The vision was elegant; the reality proved far more complex. Within a device, molecules ...

3D rendering of cubene, a cube-shaped molecule containing a highly strained double bond. Credit: Neil Garg lab It’s “pushing the limits of what geometric distortion looks like,” Garg says. Cubene and ...

Our research group is interested in using the lens of human evolution to link DNA variation to phenotypes to uncover fundamental molecular processes that govern cellular and systems functions. Our ...
