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 ...

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

Thanks to the alternating single-double nature of the bonds, electrons in these orbitals end up delocalized; the differences between the bonds become a bit irrelevant, and the molecule is best viewed ...

By placing single-atom-thick adlayers of p-block metals on commonly employed gold electrodes (d-block), a research team at National Taiwan University has successfully quantified the "interfacial ...

Atomic, molecular and optical (AMO) physics explores the quantum behaviour of electrons, atoms and light, and their mutual interactions across energy, length and time scales. In atoms and molecules, ...

Chemical engineers develop problem-solving skills, with a strong foundation in science, engineering, and mathematics that touch every aspect of our lives–from smaller, faster computer chips to ...

Covalent chemical probes – chemical probes that form a covalent bond with their target biomacromolecule(s) represent powerful tools that can be used for biology discovery, target validation (or ...

The Committee on Atomic, Molecular, and Optical Sciences (CAMOS) supports scientific progress and assists the federal government in the planning of programs in these fields by providing advice on the ...
