Researchers have solved a mystery that has confounded scientists for 80 years: the crystal structure of the ...

Researchers have recorded the first observations of the molecular structure of liquid water at a gold electrode under different battery charging conditions.

Researchers have confirmed the original model of the molecular structure of water and have thus made it possible to resolve a long-standing scientific controversy about the structure of liquid ...

The molecule is held together by chemical bonds that create a slightly negative charge on the oxygen atom and a small positive charge on each of the hydrogen atoms. This unequal charge distribution ...

In this diagram of methane (CH₄) the chemical bond between atoms is shown as a stick. One molecule of the compound methane is made from one carbon atom and four hydrogen atoms.

Germany, have developed a new method that makes it possible for the first time to image the three-dimensional shape of ...

When a water molecule is trapped, quantum tunneling lets its hydrogens spread out and make a new shape.

Hydrogen tunnels: water molecules trapped within beryl channels. (Courtesy: Alexander Kolesnikov et al./Physical Review Letters) Water molecules trapped in tiny channels exist in a blurry quantum ...

There are a number of distinct ways that the molecular components of water can line up into a solid, which is why the compound’s phase diagram is so strange.

Because intermediate water is weakly (loosely) bound to the polymer molecule or to non-freezing water (tightly bound water), this layer forms a more stable structure than free water.

Why does ice float in water, instead of sinking to the bottom? It has to do with water's density and molecular structure.
