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 ...

Sometimes a visually compelling metaphor is all you need to get an otherwise complicated idea across. In the summer of 2001, a Tulane physics professor named John P.

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Mercury is a metal, yet it has some weird physical properties, including being a liquid at room temperature.

Published today in Science, the discovery marks the creation and observation of the first molecule with a half-Möbius electronic topology.

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

Scientists created the first‑ever molecule with a half‑Möbius electronic topology, a configuration never previously observed or predicted ・The molecule’s unusual corkscrew‑like electron motion was ...

A wafer-thin flake of bismuth telluride can act a little like a one-way street for electricity, even when the push comes from ...

An international team of scientists from IBM, The University of Manchester, Oxford University, ETH Zurich, EPFL and the ...

Crystal jellyfish have an eerie beauty: thanks to a natural protein, they emit a faint green glow. For decades, researchers ...
