Inserting, removing or swapping individual atoms from the core of a molecule is a long-standing challenge in chemistry. This ...

Deep in the dark spaces between stars, astronomers have spotted a sulfur-bearing ring that should not be there, at least not ...

Astrophysicists from the Max Planck Institute for Extraterrestrial Physics (MPE) and the Centro de Astrobiología (CAB) have ...

This image depicts the radium atom’s pear-shaped nucleus of protons and neutrons in the center, surrounded by a cloud of electrons (yellow), and an electron (yellow ball with arrow) that has a ...

Scientists have detected a new, unusually large molecule never seen in space before. The 13-atom molecule, called 2-methoxyethanol, was detected in the Cat's Paw Nebula. When you purchase through ...

Researchers at the Max Planck Institute for Extraterrestrial Physics (MPE), in collaboration with astrophysicists from the ...

Another atom-swapping reaction has entered the ring. Yoonsu Park and his team at the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST) have devised a light-driven reaction that replaces an ...

MIT researchers have devised a new molecular technique that lets electrons probe inside atomic nuclei, replacing massive particle accelerators with a tabletop setup. By studying radium monofluoride, ...
