A ring of 13 carbon atoms and two chlorine atoms has a remarkable molecular structure that means you would have to go around ...

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 ...

In Greek mythology it was Charon, the grim ferryman, who paddled souls across the rivers Styx and Acheron to the underworld. But the real-life ferryman transporting our human souls between the realms ...

In chemistry, molecules with a "flat" geometry are often stable enough to support a wide range of reactions. But in the quantum world, that's not technically true.

Scientists have achieved the first real-time visualization of how 'excited-state aromaticity' emerges within just hundreds of femtoseconds and then triggers a molecule to change from bent to planar ...
