Platinum works beautifully. It speeds up chemical reactions, holds up under punishment, and sits reliably at the center of ...

Researchers at the Department of Energy's SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory and collaborating institutions recently built a generative AI model that can recreate molecular structures from the ...

When molecules fall apart, their electric charge doesn't stay put—it rearranges as bonds stretch and break. An international team of scientists has now tracked these ultrafast changes in the small ...

Researchers have developed a series of techniques to build carbon nanoribbons atom by atom, engineering their electronic properties from the ground up rather than carving them from bulk material.

This image depicts the chemical structure of cytosine. It shows a hexagonal ring with nitrogen atoms at positions 1 and 3, and a primary amine group attached to carbon 4. The two remaining positions ...

A newly isolated three-atom aluminum ring reveals unexpected chemistry that could help replace costly metals used in ...

How does our nose work? Have you wondered how we can detect so many different types of odors? There is chemistry behind food smells. In this activity, we will explore how small changes in chemical ...

Generative artificial intelligence (genAI) software isn’t coming for chemists’ jobs just yet—at least not when it comes to visualizing molecules. As an experiment, this Newscriptster directed three ...

Aromatic molecules adsorb onto carbon nanotube walls via pi-pi interactions, slowing supercritical water flow and reducing gasification efficiency, a new simulation study finds.

Matthew Addicoat receives funding from EPSRC and the Royal Society. The universe is flooded with billions of chemicals, each a tiny pinprick of potential. And we’ve only identified 1% of them.
