Atoms in molecules occupy fixed positions, connected by rigid rods. A molecule such as formic acid (methanoic acid, HCOOH) is ...

Water behaves in remarkable ways when heated and pressurized beyond its critical point. Under these extreme conditions, known as supercritical water, it no longer acts like an ordinary liquid. Instead ...

For more than 50 years, scientists have sought alternatives to silicon for building molecular electronics. The vision was elegant; the reality proved far more complex. Within a device, molecules ...

Groundbreaking estuary study by Dr. Chuanqiao Zhou of Institute of Science Tokyo and Dr. Fei He of Nanjing Institute of Environment Sciences reveals the hidden dance between terrestrial pollution, ...

University of Maryland School of Medicine (UMSOM) researchers, along with their colleagues, engineered a new molecule that appears promising as an effective antidote for carbon monoxide poisoning with ...

Chiral gold nanostars show how molecular asymmetry transfers to high-symmetry nanoparticles, producing structures with distinctive optical behavior and enhanced molecular detection. (Nanowerk ...

A new study by researchers at Bar-Ilan University has uncovered that certain ocean viruses—specifically RNA viruses—may disrupt how carbon and nutrients are recycled in the ocean, potentially altering ...

This month we feature chemicals that have important applications in industry and the lab.—Ed. Carbon monoxide (CO) is the simplest carbon oxide, an important industrial and laboratory chemical, and a ...
