Chemists have achieved a new feat in the realm of chemical design and synthesis: They've helped create the first example of a synthetic molecule, with an asymmetric oxygen atom as its centerpiece, ...

Oxetanes and other four-sided molecular rings have become increasingly common in drug design thanks to their small size and ...

A team of chemists at the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology has succeeded in pulling an oxygen atom from a molecule and replacing it with a nitrogen atom. In their study, published in ...

A view inside the trapped-ion quantum computer that carried out a first-of-its-kind simulation of molecular chemistry. A single atom has performed the first full quantum simulations of how certain ...

The ball-and-stick and first space-filling model show that sucrose is a large molecule made up of carbon, oxygen, and hydrogen. Sucrose has many O–H bonds which are polar. These polar areas are shown ...

A team of researchers from Tohoku University, Tokyo University of Science, and the Institute for Molecular Science have ...

The detection of the molecule phosphine in a brown dwarf’s atmosphere may help astronomers in their search for life elsewhere in the Milky Way.
