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

An international team of researchers has synthesized a carbon chain molecule with a never-before-seen electronic twist and used quantum computing methods to confirm its exotic structure. The molecule, ...

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 ...

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 ...

A new type of all-carbon molecule has been studied under normal room-temperature conditions. This is only the second time this has ever been done, after spherical buckyballs were synthesised 35 years ...

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 ...
