Ethanol -- the compound found in alcoholic beverages -- interferes with the normal functioning of a long list of biological molecules, but how each of these interactions contributes to the behavioral ...

A team of scientists has directly observed catalysis in-action at the atomic level. In mesmerizing new videos, single atoms move and shake during a chemical reaction that removes hydrogen atoms from ...

In a study published in Matter on May 1, researchers led by Prof. Jiang Lei from the Technical Institute of Physics and Chemistry of the Chinese Academy of Sciences have revealed the molecular secrets ...

Researchers in the UK and Canada have succeeded in creating the world's first text message via a molecular communication. The messages are encoded in molecules of alcohol, which are then wafted across ...

Ethanol-water mixtures determine the critical alcohol content of beverages. By employing molecular dynamics simulations and high-frequency proton nuclear magnetic resonance, they could identify ...

This is not the kind of alcohol you can ask for in a cocktail: it's a highly unstable molecule made up of four hydroxyl groups (OH) at a single carbon atom. Its existence was first predicted more than ...
