In a discovery recently published in Nature, MIT chemists led by Professor Alison Wendlandt have developed a precision ...

Swapping a single atom can fine-tune the thermal conductance of single-molecule junctions without affecting their electrical ...

What is Atom Probe Tomography? Atom Probe Tomography (APT) is a powerful analytical technique that provides three-dimensional (3D) imaging and chemical composition analysis of materials at the atomic ...

This image depicts the radium atom’s pear-shaped nucleus of protons and neutrons in the center, surrounded by a cloud of electrons (yellow), and an electron (yellow ball with arrow) that has a ...

When chemists design drug candidates, shape matters enormously. Many active pharmaceutical ingredients contain branched ...

Scientists from the Institute of Modern Physics (IMP) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), along with their collaborators, have recently discovered a molecular-type structure in the ground state ...

Whether a smartphone battery lasts longer or a new drug can be developed to treat incurable diseases depends on how stably the atoms constituting the material are bonded. The core of molecular design ...

COLUMBUS, Ohio — Chemists have calculated the structure of a very unusual molecule, one whose hyperactive atoms have earned it the nickname “the scrambler.” This highly caustic “protonated methane,” ...
