When Richard Feynman first conceived of quantum computers in the 1980s, he believed they should primarily investigate quantum phenomena. So that’s what a group of chemists did: they used quantum ...

The more researchers examine RNA, the more surprises they continue to uncover. What have we learned about RNA structure and function so far? Although RNA is a single-stranded molecule, researchers ...

Physicists at the DoE's Berkeley Lab in California have captured the first ever high-resolution images of a molecule as it makes and breaks chemical bonds to form different molecules. As you can see ...

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 ...

The molecular diagram at left is a representation of a protein molecule known as DMT superfamily transporter YddG, generated by Rosetta@Home software. The diagram at right is a representation of the ...

Antibiotic pollution in water is a growing global concern, as residues from human medicine, livestock production, and aquaculture can persist in the environment and contribute to the spread of ...

A Florida State University chemist has developed a method to rapidly assemble significantly complex natural molecules with potential for biomedical applications, opening the door for novel drug ...

Published today in Science, the discovery marks the creation and observation of the first molecule with a half-Möbius electronic topology.

By freezing a crucial phosphoric acid complex to near absolute zero, scientists uncovered a single, unexpectedly stable structure at the heart of proton transport.
