The new research rests on RNA molecules. Ribonucleic acid (RNA) is a polymeric log-chain molecule that is essential in various biological roles. These include coding, decoding, regulation, and ...

The atypical structure of the radium monofluoride molecule allows physicists to search for answers to some of the universe’s biggest questions.

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 ...

An estimated 2.8 million people in the U.S. contract infections each year from bacteria resistant to antibiotics, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control. More than 35,000 of them die.

In new research, scientists have created cyclocarbon – or a ring-like structure comprising only carbon. This has taken decades of research. The synthesis of the spherical carbon is the created of IBM ...

Silver-based atomic switches that create stable electrical connections between individual molecules and electrodes have been ...

Artificial intelligence, building-block chemistry and a molecule-making machine teamed up to find the best general reaction conditions for synthesizing chemicals important to biomedical and materials ...

Chemists have synthesized a "super alcohol" previously thought to be too unstable to exist. The molecule was formed under extreme, "space-like" conditions and may shed light on the complex reactions ...

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 ...

In what's being hailed as an important first for chemistry, an international team of scientists has developed a new technology that can selectively rearrange atomic bonds within a single molecule. The ...

Using a scanning tunneling microscope equipped with a femtosecond terahertz laser, scientists have exploited the quantum properties of a two-atom hydrogen molecule to observe changes in the ...
