Scientists have just created a new, strange type of molecule. It’s made of a bunch of atoms bound together in a ring, like ...

Researchers at Cornell University have developed a powerful imaging technique that reveals atomic scale defects inside computer chips for the first time. Using an advanced electron microscopy method, ...

After decades of chasing after a rare hexagonal diamond, a Chinese team says their iteration of the elusive material is the ...

An international team of scientists from IBM, The University of Manchester, Oxford University, ETH Zurich, EPFL and the University of Regensburg have created and characterized a molecule unlike any ...

Astronomers produced the most complete map of the center of the Milky Way, which can provide insight into how stars and planets are formed.

The University of Manchester, Oxford University, ETH Zurich, EPFL and the University of Regensburg have created and characterized a molecule unlike any previously known — one whose electrons travel ...

The Möbius strip, a twisted loop with one continuous surface, is inspiring chemists to create novel molecular structures. A team has synthesized a type of carbon-based molecule with an unprecedented ...

A ring of 13 carbon atoms and two chlorine atoms has a remarkable molecular structure that means you would have to go around the loop four times to return to your starting position ...

Lightning formation and the conditions triggering it have long been shrouded in a cloud of mystery, but new research led by Penn State scientists is ...

An international team of scientists from IBM, The University of Manchester, Oxford University, ETH Zurich, EPFL and the ...

Scientists created half-Möbius molecules, similar to the Möbius strips common in math classes, but half as twisty. It’s a type of topology, or geometrical structure, that is new to molecules, ...

Astronomers have unveiled one of the most ambitious maps yet of the early universe, revealing a vast "sea of light" between ...
