The molecular-scale design of materials is one of the major frontiers in modern science. Flat, highly conjugated organic molecules are already used in advanced technologies such as chemical sensors, ...

A newly isolated three-atom aluminum ring reveals unexpected chemistry that could help replace costly metals used in industrial reactions.

Electrons in solar materials can be launched across molecules almost as fast as nature allows, thanks to tiny atomic vibrations acting like a “molecular catapult.” In experiments lasting just 18 ...

The calendar has turned, preparation hours have intensified, and the nervous quiet of pre-exam evenings has settled over classrooms. On February 28, 2.

Tiny changes at the atomic scale can determine the future of clean energy. In a new study, Tohoku University researchers have revealed how the precise coordination environment surrounding a single ...

When Indiana won a national championship, fans of lovable losers everywhere could cross the Rubicon from hope to belief. Why not Kentucky? Seriously, we can ask that question now. Money matters, but ...
