A precious metal used everywhere from car exhaust systems to fuel cells, platinum is an incredibly efficient catalyst—but ...

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 ...

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

Chemists at the University of Geneva and University of Pisa have crafted a novel family of chiral molecules whose mirror-image “handedness” remains rock-solid for tens of thousands of years. By ...

which is one of the ways atoms and molecules become ionized. Gillaspy says that when he thinks of attosecond pulses of light, ...

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 ...

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

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 precise ...

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

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

The search for habitable exoplanets is a key priority and sits at the pinnacle of exoplanet science. The science community ...

A team led by researchers from the Norwegian University of Science and Technology have found a new method to separate right- ...
