Tiny molecules that can think, remember, and learn may be the missing link between electronics and the brain. For more than ...

Scientists have developed molecular devices that can switch roles, behaving as memory, logic, or learning elements within the ...

For more than 50 years, scientists have sought alternatives to silicon for building molecular electronics. The vision was ...

The distribution of outermost shell electrons, known as valence electrons, of organic molecules was observed for the first time. As the interactions between atoms are governed by the valence electrons ...

When scientists think about what drives chemistry in space, high-energy radiation, such as X-rays, gamma rays, and ions, gets most of the attention. But a new study suggests that low-energy electrons ...

Preston J. MacDougall, a professor at Middle Tennessee State University, wanted to understand where electrons tended to reside and where they stayed away from in a crystal of a diiron cluster compound ...

On the move: time sequence of the electron distribution of the molecule 1,3-cyclohexadiene after it is excited by a light pulse. (Courtesy: SLAC) Scientists in the US and UK are the first to observe ...

Quantum chemistry is quietly entering a new phase, one where some of the hardest problems in materials science are finally starting to yield to theory instead of trial and error. A fresh approach to ...
