Whether in our bodies or in fuel cells, phosphoric acid plays an important role in many chemical processes because it is ...

Chemical insight into biological function is the holy grail of structural biology. Small molecules are central players as building blocks, effectors and probes of macromolecular structure and function ...

By freezing a crucial phosphoric acid complex to near absolute zero, scientists uncovered a single, unexpectedly stable structure at the heart of proton transport.

“In this work, a comprehensive study on crystal structure and chemical bonding properties of CrB 2 was conducted using a combinatorial of theoretical calculations and experimental validations.

Each molecule has its own unmistakable tone – a vibrational “fingerprint” that reflects not only its chemical structure but also the nanoscale environment around it. But the voices of individual ...

Putting a suite of new materials synthesis and characterization methods to the test, a team of scientists has developed 14 organic-inorganic hybrid materials, seven of which are entirely new. Putting ...

Using advanced microscopy techniques, researchers have recorded the breaking of a single chemical bond between a carbon atom and an iron atom on different molecules. The team used a high-resolution ...

Researchers developed IRiSTM, a technique that combines infrared light and scanning tunneling microscopy to detect vibrations from a single molecule.

Antibiotic pollution in water is a growing global concern, as residues from human medicine, livestock production, and aquaculture can persist in the environment and contribute to the spread of ...

This month we feature chemicals that have important applications in industry and the lab.—Ed. Carbon monoxide (CO) is the simplest carbon oxide, an important industrial and laboratory chemical, and a ...
