Scientists have just created a new, strange type of molecule. It’s made of a bunch of atoms bound together in a ring, like ...

A ring of 13 carbon atoms and two chlorine atoms has a remarkable molecular structure that means you would have to go around ...

Scientists created half-Möbius molecules, similar to the Möbius strips common in math classes, but half as twisty. It’s a ...

When Richard Feynman first conceived of quantum computers in the 1980s, he believed they should primarily investigate quantum phenomena. So that’s what a group of chemists did: they used quantum ...

An international team of researchers has synthesized a carbon chain molecule with a never-before-seen electronic twist and ...

The molecule, with the formula C13Cl2, was assembled atom-by-atom at IBM from a custom precursor synthesized at Oxford University, with individual atoms removed one at a time using precisely ...

Using atom manipulation with a scanning probe microscope, the researchers created an exotic molecule, that is C13Cl2, with a ...

When cell samples stained with these molecules are examined using two-photon microscopy, the molecules behave as if they were ...

Multiphoton microscopy is used in biomedical research to study cells and tissues. Today, so-called two-photon microscopy is used to study processes within cells, but the technique has limitations in ...

Both for research and medical purposes, researchers have spent decades pushing the limits of microscopy to produce ever deeper and sharper images of brain activity, not only in the cortex but also in ...

An international team of scientists from IBM, The University of Manchester, Oxford University, ETH Zurich, EPFL and the University of Regensburg have created and characterized a molecule unlike any ...
