Scientists recently created a never-before-seen four-atom molecule — the coldest of its kind ever made. Researchers created the oddball molecule — a strange configuration of sodium-potassium with an ...

A resonance effect can significantly affect how a three-atom molecule cools down when excited, RIKEN physicists have found. The study, published in Physical Review A, highlights the complexity of the ...

The detection of the molecule phosphine in a brown dwarf’s atmosphere may help astronomers in their search for life elsewhere ...

Half a decade ago, chemist Mark Levin was a postdoc looking for a visionary project that could change his field. He found inspiration in a set of published wish lists from pharmaceutical-industry ...

Scientists have detected a new, unusually large molecule never seen in space before. The 13-atom molecule, called 2-methoxyethanol, was detected in the Cat's Paw Nebula. When you purchase through ...

Chemists have achieved a new feat in the realm of chemical design and synthesis: They've helped create the first example of a synthetic molecule, with an asymmetric oxygen atom as its centerpiece, ...

Earlier theories had forecast an appreciable drop in the reaction probability at low temperatures, but we could not confirm this either in the experiment or in new calculations by our colleagues on ...

Morandi’s group is a pioneer of skeletal-editing, remodelling molecules on an atomic level to access new areas of chemical ...
