Oxygen is a cornerstone of chemistry, largely because it is so good at building the organic molecules that make up our world. Some oxygen-based compounds called peroxides are famous for being highly ...

Electron spin may subtly break the symmetry between mirror-image molecules, helping explain why biology chose one molecular ...

Many properties of molecules cannot be predicted from the properties of the atoms they consist of. These properties only ...

EM, researchers showed that water mediates catalysis and important protein interactions for RNA polymerase II function in ...

Scientists have developed synthetic molecules that resemble real organic molecules. A collaboration of researcher can now simulate the behavior of real molecules by using artificial molecules.

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. Ten years ago, the European Space Agency’s Rosetta probe pulled up alongside a dusty, icy lump the size of a mountain. The probe would ...

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 ...
