The term aromaticity is a basic, long-standing concept in chemistry that is well established for ring-shaped carbon compounds. Aromatic rings consisting solely of metal atoms were, however, heretofore ...

Scientists from the Max Planck Institute for Extraterrestrial Physics have spotted the largest complex molecule in deep space ...

The questions in this quiz are suitable for GCSE chemistry students studying early ideas about atoms, the structure of the atom, atomic number and mass number. If you struggled with the quiz, don't ...

Matter is made up of very small parts called atoms. Atoms can combine in different numbers and in different ways to make different molecules. Atoms and molecules make up all of the different ...

Scientists use AI to generate designs of potential new molecules, a process that is 10 times faster and more precise.

This calculated diffraction image shows how forked diffraction gratings shape the atoms' wave function into a vortex. (Courtesy: Science/AAAS) A wave-like property previously only seen in beams of ...
