Whether a smartphone battery lasts longer or a new drug can be developed to treat incurable diseases depends on how stably ...

A 13-atom molecule containing sulfur has been discovered in interstellar space for the first time, providing insight into the ...

Inserting, removing or swapping individual atoms from the core of a molecule is a long-standing challenge in chemistry. This process, called skeletal editing, can dramatically speed up drug discovery ...

Researchers from the Max Planck Institute for Extraterrestrial Physics in Germany and the Centro de Astrobiología, part of ...

In the heart of our galaxy, scientists have discovered the largest sulfur-bearing molecule ever detected beyond Earth, with ...

Scientists from the Max Planck Institute for Extraterrestrial Physics have spotted the largest complex molecule in deep space ...

There is no measurement that can directly observe the wave function of a quantum mechanical system, but the wave function is ...

Heterocycles, molecular rings found in many pharmaceuticals, have a reputation for stubbornly resisting modification. That is, in a heterocycle, heteroatoms of one type aren’t easily swapped for ...

Scientists have detected a new, unusually large molecule never seen in space before. The 13-atom molecule, called 2-methoxyethanol, was detected in the Cat's Paw Nebula. When you purchase through ...

Automatically numbering and weighting electronic states instead of taking averages improves estimates of target molecular orbitals.
