The name might sound like a Nordic god, but it is actually the molecular machinery that allows many different species to eat ...

Chemists created a strange 'half-Mӧbius' molecule, where electrons twist freely out of place to make a continuously looping surface.

A team of Chinese scientists has made a groundbreaking discovery: molecular water locked within a mineral in lunar soil samples collected by the Chang'e 5 mission. Remote sensing data had indicated ...

Abstract: In this paper, a ternary-order modulation is proposed for molecular communication (MC) systems, achieving the balance between both energy efficiency and transmission efficiency. When the ...

Humanity’s plans for deep-space exploration hinge on the ability to use basic resources, such as water, to propel rockets to farther destinations in the solar system. Despite decades of ...

Ultra-precise “POMbranes” sieve out larger molecules (red) while allowing only 1-nanometer-sized species (green) to pass through its pores, enabling sharp molecular sorting. Credit: Central Salt and ...

Given the ubiquitous presence of water during catalyst synthesis, storage, and application, interactions between water and molecular sieves, along with their consequent effects on frameworks and ...

Water trapped inside tiny molecular cavities behaves in a surprisingly energetic way, pushing outward like people crammed in an elevator. When a new molecule enters these narrow spaces, the confined ...

The 2025 Nobel Prize in Chemistry has been awarded for a versatile technology that can be used for an astonishing variety of purposes, from environmental remediation to drug delivery and energy ...

Single-atom catalysts (SACs), with their excellent metal atom utilization and unique physicochemical properties, hold promise for broad applications, especially in heterogeneous catalysis and energy ...
