Everything has a beginning. That’s true for stories, for people, for the universe and even for chemistry. The Big Bang itself produced just a handful of elements (variations of hydrogen, helium and ...

(Nanowerk News) 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 ...

A compound that may form cell wall-like structures has been detected in the dense atmosphere of Saturn's moon Titan. Saturn's largest moon is very similar to Earth in some ways Has nitrogen-rich ...

Watch how a research group at IBM used STM and AFM to drive and visualize a chemical reaction. The technique could allow chemists to initiate radical reactions by manipulating molecules at an atomic ...

Researchers at European XFEL in Germany have tracked in real time the movement of individual atoms during a chemical reaction in the gas phase. Using extremely short X-ray flashes, they were able to ...
