In the journal Science Advances, scientists in Sweden and the U.S. report the first-ever direct observation of a type of short-lived molecule that has shaped decades of thinking in atmospheric ...

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

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

Thanks to the alternating single-double nature of the bonds, electrons in these orbitals end up delocalized; the differences between the bonds become a bit irrelevant, and the molecule is best viewed ...

Scientists at Oregon Health & Science University have developed a new molecule that could open the door to treating triple-negative breast cancer, one of the most aggressive and difficult-to-treat ...

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 ...

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 ...

Earlier theories had forecast an appreciable drop in the reaction probability at low temperatures, but we could not confirm this either in the experiment or in new calculations by our colleagues on ...

Here’s what you’ll learn when you read this story: Scientists at MIT discovered a method to create a kind of particle accelerator using a molecule of radium monofluoride. Once excited by lasers in a ...

Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. Celia Shatzman writes about fashion, beauty and grooming. At first glance, it seems like science and music wouldn’t have much in ...

An estimated 2.8 million people in the U.S. contract infections each year from bacteria resistant to antibiotics, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control. More than 35,000 of them die.
