By freezing a crucial phosphoric acid complex to near absolute zero, scientists uncovered a single, unexpectedly stable structure at the heart of proton transport.

Tiny changes at the atomic scale can determine the future of clean energy. In a new study, Tohoku University researchers have revealed how the precise coordination environment surrounding a single ...

The discovery of bright yet stable pigments is vanishingly rare, making them hugely valuable. Now chemist Mas Subramanian is unpicking the atomic code of colour and homing in on our most-wanted hue ...

Snowflakes, nature's tiny artworks, owe their six-sided symmetry to the hexagonal arrangement of water molecules in ice. As ...

Atoms in molecules occupy fixed positions, connected by rigid rods. A molecule such as formic acid (methanoic acid, HCOOH) is imagined as two-dimensional—flat as a sheet of paper. But quantum physics ...

Reinhard Dörner explains: "In the quantum world, atomic nuclei are not tiny spheres that remain fixed in place. They are more like vibrating clouds. Even if we cool a molecule down to absolute zero, ...

Of the 6,000 exoplanets known, a very thin slice of them are in the geometry required to perform a deceitfully simple ...

Abstract: Accurate molecular representation plays a crucial role in expediting the process of drug discovery. Graph neural networks (GNNs) have demonstrated robust capabilities in molecular ...

Sulfones, a class of sulfur-containing compounds, are chemically derived from the selective oxidation of sulfides. While these compounds form the core of the pharmaceuticals, solvents and polymer ...
