Space is home to a great many oddities, and even chemistry gets strange out there. In fact, there are even some molecules ...

On the Galápagos Islands, wild tomatoes are producing molecules not seen since the Ice Age, reversing a genetic trajectory ...

The atoms of some elements like helium do not form bonds. Helium atoms are single atoms. The atoms of elements such as hydrogen, nitrogen and oxygen join in pairs to make molecules.

A molecule is a group of atoms bonded together. Molecules make up nearly everything around you – your skin, your chair, even your food. They vary in size, but are extremely small.

A new method uses helium droplets combined with ultrashort laser pulses to trigger chemical reactions in a controlled way.

Finding the right partner to form complex molecules can be as hard for carbon atoms in space as for chronically single humans, but ice grains bring them together. CLOSE Thank you!

Molecules can be thought of as atoms that share electrons. They form electronic bonds that can be visualized like springs, and they jiggle around at a rate that corresponds with the heat energy to ...

To pull off this new video and showcase what it looks like when water molecules form, the scientists took samples of palladium and placed them into honeycomb-shaped nanoreactors.

Fatty acids are long, linear hydrocarbon molecules with a carboxyl group (COOH) at one end and a methyl group (CH3) at the other, forming a chain of carbon and hydrogen atoms.
