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

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 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 ...

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 ...

When Richard Feynman first conceived of quantum computers in the 1980s, he believed they should primarily investigate quantum phenomena. So that’s what a group of chemists did: they used quantum ...

Earlier theories had forecast an appreciable drop in the reaction probability at low temperatures, but we could not confirm this either in the experiment or in new calculations by our colleagues on ...

Astronomers have spotted an unexpected chemical heavyweight drifting through deep space - and it may offer new clues about how life gets started. Detected near the center of the Milky Way, the ...

Here’s what you’ll learn when you read this story: Scientists at MIT discovered a method to create a kind of particle accelerator using a molecule of radium monofluoride. Once excited by lasers in a ...
