Gold and other heavy elements are born in some of the universe’s most violent events—but scientists still struggle to understand the nuclear steps that create them. Now, nuclear physicists have ...

And then there’s the color red, which, for structural reasons, is generally difficult to achieve in chemistry. For practical ...

In a paper published today in Nature Synthesis, a team from the lab of University of Chicago Pritzker School of Molecular Engineering (UChicago PME) and Chemistry Department Prof. Paul Alivisatos ...

The molecular-scale design of materials is one of the major frontiers in modern science. Flat, highly conjugated organic molecules are already used in advanced technologies such as chemical sensors, ...

When Richard Feynman first conceived of quantum computers in the 1980s, he believed they should primarily investigate quantum phenomena. So that’s what a group of chemists did: they used quantum ...

Electrons in solar materials can be launched across molecules almost as fast as nature allows, thanks to tiny atomic vibrations acting like a “molecular catapult.” In experiments lasting just 18 ...

Key TakeawaysBerkeley Lab scientists developed a new way to determine atomic structures from nanocrystals previously ...

Every year, the College of Natural Sciences invites faculty, staff and students to send in the most striking and fascinating ...

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 ...

Researchers from Ulsan National Institute of Science and Technology (UNIST) designed a low power semiconductor circuit ...

History often only remembers great scientists for what they found. But sometimes, when they are alone together, they show a ...
