A research team at King’s College London has isolated a triangular aluminum compound, called a cyclotrialumane, that can ...

The questions in this quiz are suitable for GCSE chemistry students studying early ideas about atoms, the structure of the atom, atomic number and mass number. If you struggled with the quiz, don't ...

Computational analysis has revealed that diatomic molecules with two metal atoms of similar electronegativities can have a much greater dipole moment than those conventionally thought of as polar.

Beams of electrons and ultra-intense x-rays give complementary information about hydrogen atoms in small organic molecules Extremely intense x-ray pulses can determine the positions of some hydrogen ...

This calculated diffraction image shows how forked diffraction gratings shape the atoms' wave function into a vortex. (Courtesy: Science/AAAS) A wave-like property previously only seen in beams of ...

Multi-titanium hydrides can selectively snip the strong structural bonds of stable organic molecules called pyridines, RIKEN researchers have shown. This discovery could guide designing catalysts for ...

Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. I write about physics, science, academia, and pop culture. In a previous post, I went on for a bit about how the cool patterns of ...

Changing the chemistry of a compound is difficult by itself, but modifying materials only a few atoms thick is its own challenge. A group of University of Chicago scientists announced an innovative ...
