Researchers have devised a new technique -- using a sheet of carbon just one atom thick -- to visualize the structure of molecules. The technique, which was used to obtain the first direct images of ...

An international team of scientists has determined the structure of the chlorophyll molecules in green bacteria that are responsible for harvesting light energy. The team's results one day could be ...

Researchers have developed nanoscale display cases that enables new atomic-scale views of hard-to-study chemical and biological samples. Researchers at the Department of Energy's Lawrence Berkeley ...

Bullvalene is a restless molecule. Its bonds ebb and flow in a perpetual series of rearrangements, so that each of its 10 carbon atoms endlessly swaps places with the others. The bizarre consequence ...

Chemists are constantly tasked not just with designing useful new molecules — for novel drugs, energy-storing materials and countless other jobs — but with designing better ways to make those ...

Moscow's Institute of Physics and Technology and the Moscow State University scientists were first to develop a computer model predicting the beneficial influence of simple molecules on the plants ...
