Building the complex 3D molecules needed for new medicines has always been a bit like assembling a puzzle with pieces that ...

Common in nature and found in DNA and amino acids, chiral molecules are asymmetric with a structure that’s different from its mirror image. Chiral amino acids are “left-handed” and cannot be swapped ...

Lasers are used to carry out functions ranging from reading a bar code label at the grocery store to shooting down enemy missiles in space. Now, chemists at Purdue University are using lasers to coax ...

Google LLC’s quantum division today released research showing that its Willow quantum chip can provide elegant and accurate simulations about the physical properties of molecules much faster than ...

The research group of Associate Professor Yasutomo Segawa and Assistant Professor Takashi Harimoto at the Institute for ...

A research team led by Professor Shuichi Hiraoka at the University of Tokyo and Professor Masanori Tachikawa at Yokohama City ...

The molecules were deemed too unstable to make, but experiments show they can be ‘captured’ in certain reactions to yield useful products. For the first time, chemists have made a class of molecules ...

Water behaves in remarkable ways when heated and pressurized beyond its critical point. Under these extreme conditions, known as supercritical water, it no longer acts like an ordinary liquid. Instead ...

A research group has developed a new method for selectively synthesizing three-dimensional macrocycles,⁽¹⁾ in which four ...

Researchers revealed that molecular transport through fluctuating nanoscale pores is governed not only by pore size, but also ...
