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

Every chemical reaction faces a barrier: For substances to react with one another, it is first necessary to supply energy. In ...

Researchers at Cornell University have developed a powerful imaging technique that reveals atomic scale defects inside computer chips for the first time. Using an advanced electron microscopy method, ...

Iranians took full advantage of the program. They founded the Tehran Nuclear Research Center at the University of Tehran.

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 ...

For the first time, a team of US researchers has used sensors containing highly excited Rydberg atoms to detect signals from ...

Tesla, Inc. CEO Elon Musk continues to raise the stakes on his AI vision, arguing that Tesla could be among the first ...

The Möbius strip, a twisted loop with one continuous surface, is inspiring chemists to create novel molecular structures. A team has synthesized a type of carbon-based molecule with an unprecedented ...

Atomic size measurements like van der Waals and covalent radii are central to chemistry, but are they grounded in reality?

Phonons are the collective vibrations that move through a solid. They can be thought of as waves traveling across the atomic ...

Have you ever felt like you’ve been stuck in the gap between ideas and reality? You sketch something exciting, imagine users paying for it, and then the project dies in a folder of unfinished files.

Atoms measure roughly 0.1 nanometers across, a scale so small that scientists spent more than six decades developing ...
