Scientists created half-Möbius molecules, similar to the Möbius strips common in math classes, but half as twisty. It’s a type of topology, or geometrical structure, that is new to molecules, ...

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

A new NASA analysis concludes that it is "reasonable to hypothesize" that living things could have formed the odd organic ...

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 ...

NASA’s SPHEREx telescope detected water vapor and carbon-rich molecules from the interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS after it ...

Photocatalysts facilitate chemical reactions by absorbing light. Metal-based photocatalysts are widely used in organic ...

Minor changes in moisture level can promote lipid molecules to reorganize themselves in biomaterial or biomembranes. This can ...

Multiphoton microscopy is used in biomedical research to study cells and tissues. Today, so-called two-photon microscopy is used to study processes within cells, but the technique has limitations in ...

By fine tuning the motion of molecules, scientists created an injectable therapy that encouraged the growth of neurites and ...

In chemistry, molecules with a "flat" geometry are often stable enough to support a wide range of reactions. But in the quantum world, that's not technically true.

A new study of carbon-based molecules in a Martian rock offers new hints about the possibility that the red planet once ...

When cell samples stained with these molecules are examined using two-photon microscopy, the molecules behave as if they were ...
