A resonance effect can significantly affect how a three-atom molecule cools down when excited, RIKEN physicists have found.

A research team led by Associate Professor Boon Siang Yeo from the Department of Chemistry at National University of ...

By controlling the collective motion of the “dancing molecules” within the fibers, scientists discovered that intensifying the molecular motion increased ... Guillermo Ameer’s team shows how a shape ...

Chemists at the University of Geneva and University of Pisa have crafted a novel family of chiral molecules whose mirror-image “handedness” remains rock-solid for tens of thousands of years. By ...

Can you imagine a life-saving molecule whose “twin” is a deadly poison? As surprising as it may seem, this chemical reality is known as “chirality”. Like a right hand and a left hand, two molecules ...

In molecular dynamics (MD), the accessible time scales are limited by the necessity to choose sufficiently small time steps so that the fastest vibrations of the system can still be modeled. Mass ...

In the world of taxicab geometry, even the Pythagorean theorem takes a back seat.

The success of a molecular dynamics simulation depends on the accuracy of the force field used to define the atomic interactions. It is challenging to train both classical and modern machine-learning ...

The (molecular) shape of you New methods allow scientists to use a powerful technique known as cryo-EM to examine proteins that have been difficult to study so far.

Significance Increasing species richness toward the equator has been hypothesized to result from elevated temperatures, which increase molecular rates and consequently facilitate rapid speciation. We ...

Intelligence—natural or artificial—may be a matter of geometric structure, not temporal sequence, challenging how we understand thought itself.

Accurate molecular representation plays a crucial role in expediting the process of drug discovery. Graph neural networks (GNNs) have demonstrated robust capabilities in molecular representation ...
