Once considered cellular junk, non-coding RNAs are emerging as key players in everything from brain development to cancer — ...

Chemists have now come up with a way to make molecules known as acenes more stable, allowing them to synthesize acenes of varying lengths. Using their new approach, they were able to build molecules ...

Researchers from Germany, Japan and India, led by scientists from DESY and the Universities of Kiel and Hamburg, have found a way to collectively make molecules on a flat surface rotate by exposing ...

A molecule is a group of atoms bonded together. Molecules make up nearly everything around you – your skin, your chair, even your food. They vary in size, but are extremely small. You can’t see an ...

Researchers at the Department of Energy's SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory and collaborating institutions recently built ...

A team at EPFL and the University of Arizona has discovered that making molecules bigger and more flexible can actually extend the life of quantum charge flow, a finding that could help shape the ...

STOCKHOLM — Two scientists have won the Nobel Prize for chemistry for finding an "ingenious" new way to build molecules that can be used to make everything from medicines to food flavorings. The Royal ...

Acenes consist of benzene molecules — rings made of carbon and hydrogen — fused together in a linear fashion. Using a new approach, the researchers created acenes that produce different colors, ...
