An attosecond—or 0.000000000000000001 second—is no time at all for a person. That is not so for electrons, atoms and molecules, and laser-wielding scientists are revealing the action ...

“To me, it is all atoms and molecules bound together in a system that captures the sun’s energy and comes to life. Chemistry means molecules, physics is what happens between molecules.

Researchers at the ICN2 and the UAB have developed a novel strategy to obtain different types of organic molecules by breaking down their molecular structures. This technique enables fast and ...

Can you imagine a life-saving molecule whose “twin” is a deadly poison? As surprising as it may seem, this chemical reality is known as “chirality”. Like a right hand and a left hand, two molecules ...

Chirality: like a right hand and a left hand, two molecules can have the same composition, but a different shape and ...

As electronic devices continue to get smaller and smaller, physical size limitations are beginning to disrupt the trend of ...

American Chemical Society: Chemistry for Life.Tell students that in previous chapters they have studied different aspects of physical change. When atoms and molecules speed up or slow down, that is a ...

By leveraging the concept of chirality, or the difference of a shape from its mirror image, EPFL scientists have engineered ...

Reactions that alter organic scaffolds by a single atom are already proving useful, but time will tell if they’ll ...

These techniques also form the basis for treating radiative transitions in diatomic molecules. Recent advancements in quantum chemistry, enabling readers to calculate absolute single-photon and Raman ...

Scientists at ETH Zurich have developed a powerful method to look deep inside single-atom catalysts—materials where every ...
