Inserting, removing or swapping individual atoms from the core of a molecule is a long-standing challenge in chemistry. This process, called skeletal editing, can dramatically speed up drug discovery ...

Scientists recently created a never-before-seen four-atom molecule — the coldest of its kind ever made. Researchers created the oddball molecule — a strange configuration of sodium-potassium with an ...

IBM, Cleveland Clinic, and Japan's RIKEN have simulated a 12,635-atom protein complex using quantum and classical supercomputers, marking the largest biologically meaningful molecule modeled with ...

Control of heat transport in nanostructures is of central importance for numerous modern technologies—from high-performance computer chips that need to be cooled to energy converters—and is a highly ...

For the first time, a stunningly powerful X-ray laser has revealed minuscule atomic motions in a molecule that should otherwise be perfectly still – were it not for the quirks of quantum mechanics.

Scientists have detected a new, unusually large molecule never seen in space before. The 13-atom molecule, called 2-methoxyethanol, was detected in the Cat's Paw Nebula. When you purchase through ...

The discovery of a 13-atom sulfur ring in deep space links simple cosmic chemistry to the complex organic building blocks of life's origins. (Nanowerk News) Researchers at the Max Planck Institute for ...

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 ...

IBM, Cleveland Clinic, and Japan’s RIKEN have used quantum-centric supercomputing to simulate a 12,635-atom protein complex, the largest biologically relevant molecule modeled with quantum hardware.
