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

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 ...

The molecule, with the formula C13Cl2, was assembled atom-by-atom at IBM from a custom precursor synthesized at Oxford University, with individual atoms removed one at a time using precisely ...

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 ...

The Antscan database captures the tiny insects’ diversity and shows how the world’s living things could be rendered in three dimensions.
