The 2026 Nobel Prize in chemistry gave a hand to handed molecules – and the processes chemists use to create them.

Life is remarkably selective. Life relies on many molecules with what is termed “handedness”—they’re chemically identical but are mirror images of each other. Most chemical reactions will make a 50/50 ...

Enzymes are often described as molecular machines that recognize and process specific molecules. However, they are not rigid structures. Their shapes can change, affecting how molecules enter, ...

A scientist has discovered a strange new eight-faced shape in which every face touches every other face, using a set of simple integer coordinates. Mathematicians can define abstract patterns, ...

Publisher NEOWIZ and developer Lizard Smoothie have released roguelite action video game Shape of Dreams for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, Switch 2, and PC via Microsoft Store at a launch discount price ...

Researchers have found a way to create a complete 3D image of a molecule’s wavefunction, one of quantum mechanics’ most fundamental yet elusive features. By combining advanced photoelectron ...

Researchers from the Molecular Physics and Physical Chemistry departments of the Fritz Haber Institute have shown how two highly synchronized infrared (IR) laser beams can control molecules as they ...

If the eyes are the window to the soul, then your brows are the curtains that define your entire being. Hyperbolic, sure. But eyebrow shapes are sneakily one of the most important features to consider ...

Scientists have just created a new, strange type of molecule. It’s made of a bunch of atoms bound together in a ring, like many other, simpler molecules. But if you could somehow zoom in on the ...

DNA nanostructures store and encrypt data using physical shape, enabling fast electronic readout and secure molecular information processing. (Nanowerk News) Since the dawn of the computer age, ...

3D rendering of cubene, a cube-shaped molecule containing a highly strained double bond. Credit: Neil Garg lab It’s “pushing the limits of what geometric distortion looks like,” Garg says. Cubene and ...
