In an unprecedented feat, researchers from Japan develop an organic, air-stable, highly conducting neutral molecular crystal with unique electronic properties. Conventional organic materials are poor ...

For hundreds of millions of years, the universe was nothing but darkness. One molecule holds the key to this forgotten epoch. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate ...

To make efficient hydrogen energy technology a reality—from generating hydrogen through electrolysis to next-generation chemical fuel cells—scientists need to know exactly how individual hydrogen ...

Nitrogen finally joins the elite tier of elements like carbon that can form neutral allotropes—different structural forms of a single chemical element. Researchers from Justus Liebig University, ...

Researchers have demonstrated the benefits of a new non-radioactive, neutral negative staining reagent by imaging viruses at nanometer-scale. The salt-presenting reagent is a structurally stable and ...

An atomic force microscope (AFM) has revealed how the structure and bonding patterns of organic molecules change as they take on electrical charges (Science 2019, DOI: 10.1126/science.aax5895). The ...

Without photosynthesis we wouldn’t have food because it converts energy from the sun into chemical energy for the food chains. Image by Tim Sandle Without photosynthesis we wouldn’t have food because ...

One distinction between natural photochemistry and artificial photosynthesis is the number of electrons transferred at the same time—the latter relies on multi-electron transfer reactions. Now, a ...
