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 ...

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

The cold season is in full swing, throats are scratchy and noses are running. We feel ill and hope it is not the flu. The ...

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 ...

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 ...

By freezing a crucial phosphoric acid complex to near absolute zero, scientists uncovered a single, unexpectedly stable structure at the heart of proton transport.

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

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

Many proteins have a complex architecture that enables biological functions. Molecules can bind to specific sites on a ...

Quantum computing allowed the verification of the structure and behaviour of the new molecule in ways that were not possible before.

Growing neurons rely on chemical cues to find their targets, but new research shows that the brain’s physical properties help ...

Using atom manipulation with a scanning probe microscope, the researchers created an exotic molecule, that is C13Cl2, with a ...
