On a Saturday afternoon in the fall of 2021, Silvio Decurtins was leafing through a paper with a title that could have been pulled from a comic book for mathematically inclined teens: “Plato’s Cube ...

IUPAC defines constitution and conformations, which in turn defines all molecules and materials through the specific connectivity of distinct sets of atoms placed at specific relative coordinates (x,y ...

Scientists have achieved the first real-time visualization of how excited-state aromaticity emerges within just hundreds of femtoseconds and then triggers a molecule to change from bent to planar ...

Chiral gold nanostars show how molecular asymmetry transfers to high-symmetry nanoparticles, producing structures with distinctive optical behavior and enhanced molecular detection. (Nanowerk ...

The study of molecular mobility is important in many areas of science and engineering, including materials science, physics, and chemical engineering. It can provide insight into the physical and ...
