Chemists have now come up with a way to make molecules known as acenes more stable, allowing them to synthesize acenes of varying lengths. Using their new approach, they were able to build molecules ...

Designing molecules is one of chemistry's most complex challenges. From life-saving drugs to advanced materials, each ...

A molecule is a group of atoms bonded together. Molecules make up nearly everything around you – your skin, your chair, even your food. They vary in size, but are extremely small. You can’t see an ...

STOCKHOLM — Two scientists have won the Nobel Prize for chemistry for finding an "ingenious" new way to build molecules that can be used to make everything from medicines to food flavorings. The Royal ...

Organic chemistry is packed with rules about structure and reactivity, especially when it comes to making and breaking chemical bonds. The rules governing how these bonds, which hold atoms together in ...

In cheminformatics, where machine learning is transforming our understanding of how molecular properties are predicted and explained, a critical challenge has long remained: making these powerful but ...

Much like the humans that created them, computers find physics hard, but quantum mechanics even harder. But a new technique created by three University of Chicago scientists allows computers to ...

A team at EPFL and the University of Arizona has discovered that making molecules bigger and more flexible can actually extend the life of quantum charge flow, a finding that could help shape the ...

Electron spin can create differences between mirror-image molecules, a potential explanation for why life favors one ...

Acenes consist of benzene molecules — rings made of carbon and hydrogen — fused together in a linear fashion. Using a new approach, the researchers created acenes that produce different colors, ...
