A team of chemists at the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology has succeeded in pulling an oxygen atom from a molecule and replacing it with a nitrogen atom. In their study, published in ...

Physicists at MIT have developed a new way to probe inside an atom's nucleus, using the atom's own electrons as "messengers" within a molecule. Typically, experiments to probe the inside of atomic ...

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

For all its possibilities, nature tends to replay one particular scene over and over again: the confrontation between matter and light. It stages the scene in a practically infinite number of ways, ...

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, ...

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 ...

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 ...
