Nitrenes are the ghosts of synthetic chemistry, formed in an instant and gone just as quickly, rearranging into something ...

The research team employs the two-color radiation of the unique in-house IR free-electron laser (IR-FEL) to control the population of different molecular conformations. - Fundamental insight: It is ...

Organic molecular crystals can respond to external stimuli such as heat, light, and mechanical force, making them attractive ...

Threads or ropes can easily be used for braiding, knotting, and weaving. In chemistry, however, processing molecular strands in this way is an almost impossible task. This is because molecules are not ...

The prize was awarded to Susumu Kitagawa, Richard Robson and Omar Yaghi for the development of an architecture that some chemists compare with a molecular sponge. By Alexa Robles-Gil and Ali Watkins ...

In 1825 Michael Faraday isolated a sweet-smelling chemical that he dubbed bi-carburet of hydrogen. That molecule, better known as benzene, is perhaps the most famous molecular ring in chemistry. Back ...
