Whether a smartphone battery lasts longer or a new drug can be developed to treat incurable diseases depends on how stably ...
Single-atom catalysts (SACs), with their excellent metal atom utilization and unique physicochemical properties, hold promise for broad applications, especially in heterogeneous catalysis and energy ...
This image depicts the radium atom’s pear-shaped nucleus of protons and neutrons in the center, surrounded by a cloud of electrons (yellow), and an electron (yellow ball with arrow) that has a ...
Heterocycles, molecular rings found in many pharmaceuticals, have a reputation for stubbornly resisting modification. That is, in a heterocycle, heteroatoms of one type aren’t easily swapped for ...
A collaborative effort from researchers at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL), Sandia National ...
A single atom has performed the first full quantum simulations of how certain molecules react to light. The researchers who carried out the feat say that their minimalistic approach could dramatically ...
Chemistry professor Danna Freedman crafts “designer molecules” for quantum information science. It all began with a simple origami model. As an undergrad at Harvard, Danna Freedman went to a professor ...
Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory scientists have trapped a single plutonium atom inside a tiny molecular cage, using only six micrograms of the radioactive metal. The work turns an element ...
