A ring of 13 carbon atoms and two chlorine atoms has a remarkable molecular structure that means you would have to go around the loop four times to return to your starting position ...

Scientists created half-Möbius molecules, similar to the Möbius strips common in math classes, but half as twisty. It’s a ...

Called a landmark discovery, scientists create a molecule with an unprecedented electronic pattern that revolutionizes ...

A team at IBM Research has assembled a strange new ring-shaped molecule that bends around like a more complicated Möbius strip ...

A new study reveals all five fundamental nucleobases – the molecular “letters” of life – have been detected in samples from ...

This, in turn, altered the configuration of the orbitals to achieve the half-Möbius configuration that the researchers were ...

As 'Starfleet Academy' sets itself on some high stakes for its season one finale, it's returning to one of the most fearsome ideas from 'Trek' past.

In the journal Science Advances, scientists in Sweden and the U.S. report the first-ever direct observation of a type of short-lived molecule that has shaped decades of thinking in atmospheric ...

Scientists have discovered that a rare “mirror-image” version of the amino acid cysteine can dramatically slow the growth of ...

Blow up a long balloon and two things happen: it gets longer and it gets wider. Now imagine a living cell that inflates itself under enormous pressure and yet only grows longer, never adding width.

Scientists at Oregon Health & Science University have developed a new molecule that could open the door to treating triple-negative breast cancer, one of the most aggressive and difficult-to-treat ...
