Talk about twisted science! This year, chemists reached new heights of knottiness with “perplexanes,” entangled molecules with fiendishly complex topology (J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2025, DOI: ...

Empa researchers have experimentally recreated a fundamental theoretical model from quantum physics, originally proposed by Nobel Prize winner Werner Heisenberg. The experiment was based on "quantum ...

They built four models through which it could distinguish things with biological antecedents from things which lacked them.

For the homogeneous Heisenberg chain, the researchers used the nanographene molecule Olympicen, which consists of five carbon rings. In 2024, Empa researchers and their partners successfully for the ...

Scientists at the Carnegie Institution for Science used a powerful combination of cutting-edge chemistry and artificial ...

Carbon is everywhere. It’s in the atmosphere, in the oceans, in the soil, in our food, in our bodies. As the backbone of all organic molecules that make up life, carbon is a very accurate predictor of ...

Washington, DC— Pairing cutting-edge chemistry with artificial intelligence, a multidisciplinary team of scientists found ...

You may have noticed that the rock formations are very different colors. The rock formations on the left are from Red Rock State Park in Texas, and on the right is El Capitan Mountain in Yosemite ...

From undulating surface to inky black depths, Earth’s oceans are littered with the carcasses of tiny life-forms called phytoplankton that in life form the basis of the marine food chain. These ...

Imaging the structure of molecules in transient-excited states remains a challenge due to the extreme requirements for spatial and temporal resolution. Ultrafast electron diffraction from aligned ...
