Materials that emit and manipulate light are at the heart of technologies ranging from solar energy to advanced imaging ...

Scientists have achieved the unthinkable by stabilizing a highly reactive molecule in water, confirming a decades-old theory ...

The deep interiors of ice giants such as Uranus and Neptune may contain a previously unknown form of matter, based on new computational research by Carnegie scientists Cong Liu and Ronald Cohen.

When chemists design drug candidates, shape matters enormously. Many active pharmaceutical ingredients contain branched carbon structures-points where the molecular chain forks in a specific direction ...

When methylone was finally banned in 2011, unregulated chemists simply tweaked the molecule to evade the ban, creating new ...

Chemists have discovered a new molecular shape, and it is twice as odd as the twisty Möbius strip. The Möbius strip is a looped band with a twist, such that something tiny, such as an ant, would have ...

Phosphoric acid is vital in both biology and modern technology because of its exceptional ability to move electrical charge. Inside the human body and in devices such as fuel cells, this small ...

Antibiotic pollution in water is a growing global concern, as residues from human medicine, livestock production, and aquaculture can persist in the environment and contribute to the spread of ...

Double bonds, or alkenes, are not supposed to form in some locations on organic molecules, which is known as Bredt’s rule. Researchers who successfully broke that rule last year have now synthesized ...

Abstract: Accurate extraction of molecular representations is a critical step in the drug discovery process. In recent years, significant progress has been made in molecular representation learning ...

Constructing out-of-equilibrium molecular assemblies that deviate from thermodynamic equilibrium is a central challenge in materials science. While numerous studies have reported the creation of such ...
