A team at IBM Research has assembled a strange new ring-shaped molecule that bends around like a more complicated Möbius strip ...

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

Researchers have designed a nanomaterial that destroys cancer cells without harming surrounding healthy tissues in cell and ...

Diastereomers are structurally identical molecules that are not mirror images of each other. Diastereomers can have different biological activities, potencies or toxicities, which means they can ...

Diastereomers are molecules with identical structures that are not mirror images of each other, described as anti or syn for molecules without rings. Researchers at the University of Osaka developed a ...

Liquid nitrogen isn’t exactly an everyday material, but it’s acquired conveniently enough to be used in extreme overclocking experiments, classroom demonstrations, chemistry and physics ...

Scientists at Oregon State University have engineered a powerful new nanomaterial that zeroes in on cancer cells and destroys them from the inside out. Designed to exploit cancer’s unique ...

Tiny changes at the atomic scale can determine the future of clean energy. In a new study, Tohoku University researchers have revealed how the precise coordination environment surrounding a single ...

If the wind, rain and snow are somewhat getting you down, it’s possible that the phone in your pocket could help you relieve some of the January blues. If you are an O2 customer, you have automatic ...

Diving into the world of valence electron configurations reveals the intricate dance of electrons that governs how molecules form and behave. Understanding these configurations is key to predicting a ...

The ground state electron configuration of oxygen dictates how its electrons are arranged in their lowest energy state, influencing its chemical behavior and the types of bonds it forms. Understanding ...
