Researchers have uncovered how atoms subtly rearrange themselves for up to a trillionth of a second before releasing low-energy electrons after X-ray excitation.

Scientists have discovered the largest organic molecule containing sulfur — a key ingredient for life — ever identified in interstellar space. The researchers call the discovery a “missing link” in ...

Scientists use AI to generate designs of potential new molecules, a process that is 10 times faster and more precise.

Researchers synthesized weird molecules that exist in three dimensions, breaking Bredt's rule and helping to develop future ...

These chemical oddities may explain why Earth seems to be deficient in certain elements — and could prove useful in catalysts ...

There is no measurement that can directly observe the wave function of a quantum mechanical system, but the wave function is still enormously useful as its (complex) square represents the probability ...

The two projects unveiled Wednesday will be prepared beforehand, loaded onto the flight in lockers and will operate on their ...

This puzzle is known as the problem of time, and it remains one of the most persistent obstacles to a unified theory of ...

Time is a straightforward concept - or is it? The passing of minutes and years isn't as easy to explain as many assume.

Consciousness studies is too much like the blind men with the elephant. Here's an explanation for the blind spot and how we ...

A team of researchers has just demonstrated that essential molecular chains, peptides, can form spontaneously on cosmic dust grains, meaning in space. This result changes our understanding of ...
