An international team of researchers has synthesized a carbon chain molecule with a never-before-seen electronic twist and used quantum computing methods to confirm its exotic structure. The molecule, ...

Quantum computing allowed the verification of the structure and behaviour of the new molecule in ways that were not possible before.

Scientists created half-Möbius molecules, similar to the Möbius strips common in math classes, but half as twisty. It’s a ...

If you were asked to picture how electrons move, you could be forgiven for imagining a stream of particles sluicing down a wire like water rushing through a pipe. After all, we often describe ...

Chlorine (Cl) has an atomic number of 17, meaning it has 17 protons in its nucleus. Its electronic configuration is 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁵. The outermost shell, also known as the valence shell, contains ...

Researchers at the University of Tokyo have developed a new method for creating synthetic diamonds using electron radiation. This technique, they suggest, could pave the way for powerful new forms of ...

A Taiwanese investigation into the possible theft of chip technology at Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. is putting a low-profile, lesser-known tech linchpin in Japan under unusual scrutiny.
