A molecule is a group of atoms bonded together. Molecules make up nearly everything around you – your skin, your chair, even your food. They vary in size, but are extremely small. You can’t see an ...

Researchers have developed a light-driven method for creating tiny, high-energy “housane” molecules that are valuable for ...

Scientists have uncovered compelling evidence that dinosaur fossils may still contain traces of their original proteins, ...

Most synthetic materials that show molecular-scale porosity consist of one-, two- or three-dimensional networks. Porous metal-organic frameworks in particular have attracted a lot of recent attention.

Heating a substance makes its atoms and molecules move faster. This happens whether the substance is a solid, a liquid, or a gas. It’s not easy to see it happen in a solid but let’s try it for a ...
