The creation of a new magnetic molecule could pave the way to build new, stamp-sized hard drives capable of holding the equivalent of 40,000 CDs' worth of music—that's three years of nonstop tunes!

A research team has discovered an electrochemical method that allows highly selective para-position single-carbon insertion ...

Reactions that alter organic scaffolds by a single atom are already proving useful, but time will tell if they’ll ...

In a hunt for more sustainable technologies, researchers are looking further into enabling two-dimensional materials in ...

McMahan and LeSar 3 first predicted that nitrogen would transform from the molecular state, in which each atom is triple-bonded with one near neighbour, to a monoatomic structure in which each ...

Collagen, a protein found in bones and connective tissue, has been found in dinosaur fossils as old as 195 million years.

In chemistry, a single atom can make a huge difference in a molecule. Swap out one carbon atom for a nitrogen atom, and the way the drug molecule interacts with its target can dramatically change.

Scientists at ETH Zurich have developed a powerful method to look deep inside single-atom catalysts—materials where every ...

A single hydrogen atom has been snipped off a molecule and then added back on again, marking the first time a single chemical bond has been broken and reforged in a controlled, reversible way. The ...

Single-atom editing under mild conditions was achieved for heterocyclics, thanks to a new oxygen-to-nitrogen photocatalyst.

Researchers have found a simple way to construct and deconstruct molecular metal chains, atom-by-atom.
