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

Inserting, removing or swapping individual atoms from the core of a molecule is a long-standing challenge in chemistry. This ...

Light microscopes have revolutionized our understanding of the microcosmos, but their resolution is limited to about 100 nanometers. To see how molecules bond, break, or change their structure, we ...

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 light hits certain molecules, it dislodges electrons that then move from one location to another, creating areas of positive and negative charge. This 'charge transfer' is highly important in ...

Deep in the dark spaces between stars, astronomers have spotted a sulfur-bearing ring that should not be there, at least not ...
