Plastic is made from oil and natural gas, which started out as fossilized plant and animal material. But buried deep ...

After opening night in Seattle, gig-goers reportedly complained about a ‘twisted’ section of the show in which singer Gerard ...

In 1825 Michael Faraday isolated a sweet-smelling chemical that he dubbed bi-carburet of hydrogen. That molecule, better ...

Once thought unlikely, this new finding in coordination chemistry could lead to promising advances in catalysis and materials science. For more than 100 years, the widely accepted 18-electron rule has ...

Photoactivated ketones show strong potential as hydrogen atom transfer photocatalysts, enabling the activation of carboxylic ...

A new approach breaks down complicated designs into modular building blocks for easy assembly from the bottom up.

Knowable Magazine reports on attosecond science, revealing how scientists study atomic interactions at unbelievable speeds to ...

An attosecond—or 0.000000000000000001 second—is no time at all for a person. That is not so for electrons, atoms and molecules, and laser-wielding scientists are revealing the action ...

For more than a century, the well-known 18-electron rule has guided the field of organometallic chemistry. Now, researchers at Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology (OIST), in collaboration with ...

The researchers deployed a special quantum effect called the two-photon spin-exchange Auger process to produce hot electrons far more efficiently than before. This process allows two low-energy ...

Carbon monoxide (CO) is the simplest carbon oxide, an important industrial and laboratory chemical, and a deadly toxin. The molecular structure of CO is unusual. It is variously written with a ...
