Platinum works beautifully. It speeds up chemical reactions, holds up under punishment, and sits reliably at the center of industrial processes worth billions of dollars annually.

When molecules fall apart, their electric charge doesn't stay put—it rearranges as bonds stretch and break. An international team of scientists has now tracked these ultrafast changes in the small ...

Called a landmark discovery, scientists create a molecule with an unprecedented electronic pattern that revolutionizes ...

A newly isolated three-atom aluminum ring reveals unexpected chemistry that could help replace costly metals used in ...

Framework can investigate regions of chemical space that are normally inaccessible, painting a clearer picture of how molecules can form, transform and interconvert ...

Researchers have developed a series of techniques to build carbon nanoribbons atom by atom, engineering their electronic properties from the ground up rather than carving them from bulk material.

This image depicts the chemical structure of cytosine. It shows a hexagonal ring with nitrogen atoms at positions 1 and 3, and a primary amine group attached to carbon 4. The two remaining positions ...

By placing single-atom-thick adlayers of p-block metals on commonly employed gold electrodes (d-block), a research team at National Taiwan University has successfully quantified the "interfacial ...
