ITHACA, N.Y. ---- A long-sought goal of scientists has been to shrink the transistor, the basic building block of electronic circuits, to smaller and smaller size scales. Scientists at Cornell ...

Chemists have achieved a new feat in the realm of chemical design and synthesis: They've helped create the first example of a synthetic molecule, with an asymmetric oxygen atom as its centerpiece, ...

A team from UNIGE and the University of Pisa has designed surprisingly stable molecular assemblies, paving the way for new ...

Highly efficient controlling the individual atomic migration is the basis of the modern atomic manufacturing. Although one-by-one atom migration can ...

A view inside the trapped-ion quantum computer that carried out a first-of-its-kind simulation of molecular chemistry. A single atom has performed the first full quantum simulations of how certain ...

Carbon dioxide is made up of one carbon atom covalently bonded to two oxygen atoms. Although electrons are shared, they are not shared equally between the carbon and the oxygen atoms. The oxygen atom ...

The molecular hydrogen ion H₂⁺ is the simplest molecule. This simplicity makes it a perfect study object for physicists, as ...

Scientists at OIST have defied a foundational rule in chemistry by creating a stable 20-electron version of ferrocene—an organometallic molecule once thought to be limited to 18 valence electrons.

A research team has discovered a new molecule containing the heavy element berkelium. Called "berkelocene," it is the first ...
