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

Researchers have found that peroxiredoxins, a family of antioxidant enzymes central to how cells manage oxidative stress, can ...

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

Astronomers using the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) have detected hydrogen cyanide (nitrogen-bearing organic molecule commonly seen in comets) as well as unusually high levels of ...

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 ...

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

Chemists have discovered a new molecular shape, and it is twice as odd as the twisty Möbius strip. The Möbius strip is a looped band with a twist, such that something tiny, such as an ant, would have ...

DNA nanostructures store and encrypt data using physical shape, enabling fast electronic readout and secure molecular information processing. (Nanowerk News) Since the dawn of the computer age, ...

Abstract: Accurate molecular representation plays a crucial role in expediting the process of drug discovery. Graph neural networks (GNNs) have demonstrated robust capabilities in molecular ...

For more than 50 years, scientists have sought alternatives to silicon for building molecular electronics. The vision was elegant; the reality proved far more complex. Within a device, molecules ...
